The 48FO (6x8) Direct Burial Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.652.D Rodent Protection (Part number: EE4955J0000480DNO) from Cablescom with 48FO and Anti Rodent construction . Direct buried cable is optimised for injection into ducts in optical networks and is usually directly buried or installed in ducts by air-blowing, jetted, pulled or pushed into the duct.
The 48FO (6x8) Direct Burial Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.652.D Rodent Protection from Cablescom is a Direct Buried cable with 48 fibers within 6 loose tubes. This distribution cable for optical networks has a loose tube structure with PBT tubes filled with a thixotropic compound, a double polyethylene sheath and is armoured with corrugated steel tape longitudinally applied over the inner sheath, for rodent retardant and impact resistant. Swellable yarns and tapes to prevent the progression of water inside the cable. The optical fibers comply with ITU-T recommendations G.652.D.
For outdoor use; Installation in underground ducts, by pulling or blowing, or directly buried.
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:
While using a loose tube construction in cables, you can:
The loose tube construction solution can be chosen for the following applications:
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.
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.
