The 12FO (1x12) Duct Central Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.652.D FR-LSZH Black (Part number: K1FAE02012B9A5) from KDP with 12FO and Anti Rodent construction. 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 12FO (1x12) Duct Central Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.652.D FR-LSZH Black from KDP is a Duct cable with 12 fibers within 1 central loose tube. This distribution cable for optical networks has a central tube structure, a FR-LSZH UV stable polyethylene sheath with one ripcord underneath and a water blocking E-glass yarn to prevent the progression of water inside the cable. The optical fibers comply with ITU-T recommendations G.652.D.
For indoor or outdoor use; FTTx

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:
Anti-Rodent is a type of fiber optic cable protection designed to prevent damage from rodents such as rats, mice, and squirrels. This protection is achieved by applying a special coating or tape to the cable, making it difficult for rodents to chew through the cable and cause damage. Anti-rodent protection is particularly important in outdoor and underground installations where rodents are common, and can help to prevent costly and time-consuming repairs.
HFFR (halogen-free, flame-retardant) is a jacket material that offers excellent fire protection and reduced smoke emission in the event of a fire. It is designed to be environmentally friendly and safe for human health, as it does not contain halogens or heavy metals. HFFR is highly resistant to moisture and chemicals, making it suitable for harsh and demanding environments. However, it may be more expensive than other materials, and it may have a lower temperature rating, which may limit its use in certain 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.
