The 1FO (1x1) Drop Flex Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.657.A2 (Part number: 60049757) from Prysmian with 1FO. Drop cable is a light weight, robust cable, used in optical networks, where the installation is up to the customer premises.
The 1FO (1x1) Drop Flex Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.657.A2 from Prysmian is a Drop cable with 1 fiber within 1 flex tube. This distribution cable for optical networks has a 900 µm tight buffer easy strip Bendbright XS G657A2 fiber micromodule construction (flex tube structure) and a outer HFFR compound sheath. It has also aramid yarns as peripheral strenght elements. The optical fibers comply with ITU-T recommendations G.657.A2.
For indoor use.
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.A2 fiber type is characterized by 7.5 mm minimum bending radius. These specifications of the G657 fibers allow to have a better cost-efficiency due to compact cable designs and reduced space requirements. Find some benefits when using the G.657.A2 fiber type:
While using a flex tube construction in cables, you can:
The cable flex 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.
