The 192FO (8x24) Air Blown Fiber Microduct Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.657.A1 HDPE (Part number: EE2M81B00019200NO) from Cablescom with FO. Air blown microduct fiber cable is optimised for injection into microducts and is used in optical networks, more specifically for use in Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and Fiber-to-the-Desk (FTTD) networks. This technique that is lower at cost, quicker and more environmentally friendly than traditional deployment, allowing a simpler instalation with less resources.
Micro optic-fibre cables to be rapidly installed by blowing in micro-ducts Di/De 10/12 mm or 10/14 mm, and Di/De 14/18mm for the 396 optic-fibre cable. High blowing distance due to the excellent friction properties of the outer sheath ≈ 1500 m depending on way route. It contains 6, 8 or 11 loose tubes of 12, 24 or 36 fibres each. These cables are used for medium or long distance telecommunications networks and can be designed with single mode type ITU-T G 657A1.
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:
HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is a jacket material that offers excellent protection against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion. It is highly resistant to impact, making it ideal for rugged applications where cables are exposed to rough handling. HDPE is also UV-resistant, and it can withstand extreme temperatures, making it a good choice for outdoor and industrial environments. However, it is less flexible than other materials, which may make it difficult to use in certain applications.
