The fiber ribbons are placed within a loose, high-modulus plastic tube. A filling material that is resistant to water is poured into the tube. One layer of coated steel tape is applied longitudinally around the tube.
On either side of the steel tape are two steel wires that are paralleled. To ensure UV protection, the polyethylene sheath is extruded outside the tube and strength components.
Complete water-blocking structure, offering excellent moisture-proof and water-blocking performance.
Optical fibers are perfectly protected by special loose tubes filled with filling gel.
Desired tensile strength and crush resistance are provided by two parallel steel wires.
Ideal for CATV networks, interoffice connections, and access networks (particularly FTTC and FTTB).
High fiber density, cost-effective, easy to identify and maintain, and convenient for installation.
A 30-year lifetime is made possible by strict workmanship and raw material management.
