The 2FO (1x2) Drop Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.657.A2 FR-LSZH CRM (Part number: K1F7A01002CVA) from KDP with 2FO. Drop cable is a light weight, robust cable, used in optical networks, where the installation is up to the customer premises.
The 2FO (1x2) Drop Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable SM G.657.A2 FR-LSZH CRM from KDP is a Drop cable with 2 fibers within 1 loose tube. This distribution cable for optical networks has a loose tube structure, a FR-LSZH polyethylene outer sheath and aramid yarn to prevent the progression of water inside the cable. The optical fibers comply with ITU-T recommendations G.657.A2.
For indoor or outdoor aerial 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 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 loose tube construction in cables, you can:
The loose tube construction solution can be chosen for the following applications:
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.
