Outdoor cable with stranded loose tubes, inner jacket and best rodent protection
The 24FO (2x12) Direct Burial Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.657.A1 (Part number: LLK-24FSL 2D25 SG QG2YDW2YD) from Solifos with 24FO. Direct buried cable is optimised for injection into ducts in optical networks and is usually directly buried or installed in ducts by air-blowing, jetted, pulled or pushed into the duct.
The 24 (2x12) Direct Burial Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.657.A1 Rodent Protection from Solifos is a Direct Buried cable with 24 fibers within 2 loose tubes. This distribution cable for optical networks has a loose tube structure and a double halogen-free polyethylene sheath (outer + inner) with glass yarn strength members and corrugated steel tape for higher mechanical and chemical resistance, allowing very high crush resistance and high permissible tensile strength. Longitudinally and laterally watertight. The optical fibers comply with ITU-T recommendations G.657.A1
For outdoor use; Laying directly in the ground; Suitable for blowing into pipe systems
Each type of single-mode fiber has its own area of application, and the evolution of these optical fiber specifications reflects the evolution of transmission system technology from the earliest installation of single-mode optical fiber to the present day. Choose the right fiber is very important for each project/installation. The OS2 G.657 standard single-mode fibers were developed to allow a better bending radius regarding the G.652 standard. For the OS2 G.657 fiber there are 4 subcategories: G.657.A1, G.657.A2, G.657.B2, G.657.B3. The G.657.A1 fiber type is characterized by 10 mm minimum bending radius. These specifications of the G.657 fibers allow to have a better cost-efficiency due to compact cable designs and reduced space requirements.
While using a loose tube construction in cables, you can:
The loose tube construction solution can be chosen for the following applications:
PE (polyethylene) is a versatile jacket material that offers good protection against moisture, abrasion, and chemicals. It is highly flexible and has a low coefficient of friction, which makes it easy to install and handle. PE is also resistant to UV radiation and can withstand a wide range of temperatures, making it a popular choice for outdoor and industrial applications. However, it is less flame-resistant than other materials, which may limit its use in certain environments.
