The 144FO (12x12) Duct Flex Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.657.A1 Metallic Armoured (Part number: 60055964) from Prysmian with 144FO and Metallic Armoured 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 144FO (12x12) Duct Fiber Optic Cable G.657.A1 Metallic Armoured from Prysmian is a Duct cable with 144 fibers within 12 flex tubes. This distribution cable for optical networks has a micromodule structure (flex tube construction) a two tear lines under the inner sheath, a polyethyleneon on the intermediate sheath and HDPE on the external sheath with incorporated shielding reinforcements with a layer of galvanized steel wire filled with a suitable sealing material. The optical fibers comply with ITU-T recomendations G.657.A1.
For outdoor use. Installation in ducts, buried directly in a humid environment. The microdules are flexible and provide easy storage and access to fibers without specific tools.
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 flex tube construction in cables, you can:
The cable flex tube construction solution can be chosen for the following applications:
Metallic Armoured is a type of fiber optic cable protection designed to provide a high degree of mechanical protection against impacts, crushing, and other hazards. This protection is achieved by using an armor layer made of metal wires, tapes, or corrugated steel, which provides a high level of strength and durability. Metallic armoured FOC is commonly used in outdoor and industrial applications where the cable is exposed to harsh environments, such as oil rigs, mining operations, and military installations. This type of protection also provides additional protection against electromagnetic interference and other sources of signal distortion.
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.
