72FO (6x12) Duct Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.652.D

Fiber Type (ITU) - OS2 G.652.D

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 specification of the OS2 fiber is generally considered as the SMF standard for the single-mode fiber. For the OS2 G.652 fiber there are 4 subcategories: G.652.A, G.652.B, G.652.C, G.652.D.

The OS2 G.652.D single-mode fibers are the most used type of fiber for networking and communications applications. The OS2 G.652.D fiber type provides a zero dispersion at 1310nm wavelength therefor it is optimized for operation in the 1310nm Wavelength. The regular performance remains on the 1550nm wavelength.

Benefits of using the OS2 G.652.D fibers:

• Backward compatibility with earlier versions;
• Lower system cost;
• Offers zero water peak and seamless splicing;
• Lower splicing losses;
• Supports longer cable runs.

FOC Construction - Loose tube

While using a loose tube construction in cables, you can:

• Pull and stretch without causing fractures from bending or tension;
• Have full resistant protection of the fiber core, cladding and coating (mechanical protection and UV protection);
• Reach optimized performances at extreme temperatures;
• Avoid the risk of environmental damage (including water damage).

The loose tube construction solution can be chosen for the following applications:

• Direct buried;
• Aerial;
• Duct;
• Rodent resistant;
• Indoor and outdoor;
• Water-blocking;
• Temperature endurance.

Jacket Material - PE

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.
