FTTP Aerial Drop Cable for Overhead Lines

The ftth aerial drop cable are flame-retardant, UV-resistant, indoor/outdoor cables designed for aerial, duct and direct-buried applications with no need for a transition splice when entering the building. Available in fiber counts of 1-24 fibers, the tight-buffered construction facilitates easier termination for low-fiber-count applications in the local area network (LAN) and eliminates need for fan-out kits. The design features TIA-598 color-coded 900 µm TBII Buffered Fibers for easy identification, consistent stripping and direct termination. Available in 50 µm, 62.5 µm, single-mode and hybrid versions, the cable design meets ICEA S-104-696 test criteria and is also OFNR and FT-4 listed for riser and general purpose use. The small diameter and bend radius of the cable allow for easy installation in space-constrained areas while the innovative water-blocking technology is ideal for OSP applications.

Features

900um tight buffered
Water blocking aramid yarns provides sufficient strength to the cable to avoid damage during installation
LSZH sheath
Ripcord under the outer sheath for easy removal of LSZH jacket
Aramid yarn strength members
Jacket print ensures product identification and fiber compatibility
Buffers strip consistently between 3.5 - 5 lbs-f, helpful for onsite termination
100% Optically Inspected and Tested to be compatible
RoHS Compliant

Application

Designed for use in both Indoor & Outdoor Environments in Structured Wiring Systems for backbone and or building interconnect.
The cable incorporates ‘Dry’water blocking properties suitable for protected external use in covered tray, conduit, underground ducts and tunnels.
Coloured jackets have a reduced UV resistance when compared to Black.
