The 6FO (1x6) Duct Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.657.A1 Metallic Armoured (Part number: 60058516) from Prysmian with 6FO. Conduit cables are underground cables, that may be conducted by duct or buried directly into the ground. There are several types of protections for this cable such as anti-rodent or double protection. Conduit cables are built to withstand harsh environments and are typically routed by pull or blow.
The 6FO (1x6) Duct Fiber Optic Cable G.657.A1 Metallic Armoured from Prysmian is a Duct cable with 6 fibers within 1 loose tube. This distribution cable for optical networks has one central loose tube structure with steel armouring and polyethylene on the sheath, with reinforcements of aramid yarns, allowing a high dielectric capability. The optical fibers comply with ITU-T recomendations G.657A1.
For outdoor use; Installation in LAN and WAN backbones, telecom access lines, fiber to business and fiber to the building drop connections; as well as fiber to the home drop and access connections. The cable is well suited for installation in ducts and on trays. The cable is excellent for direct burial with proper sand back filling.
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:
Single mode fiber uses a LASER light source, is a type of optical fiber with a small core diameter that allows only one mode of light to propagate. It is used in telecommunications and data transmission systems to transmit signals over long distances with low attenuation and high bandwidth. Single mode fiber is ideal for high-speed and long-distance applications, such as internet backbone networks, cable television networks, and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services. Its narrow core reduces the dispersion of light, allowing signals to travel further and faster than with multimode fiber.
