576FO (48X12) Duct Flex tube Fiber Optic Cable OS2 G.652.D HDPE

Fiber Type (ITU) - OS2 G.652.D

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:

• Backward compatibility with earlier versions;
• Lower system cost;
• Offers zero water peak and seamless splicing;
• Lower splicing losses;
• Supports longer cable runs.

FOC Construction - Flex tube

While using a flex tube construction in cables, you can:

• Reduced installation time;
• Easier handling, particularly in fiber distribution and termination units;
• Fast access to fibers; easy to remove the module material with no tools required;
• Small quantity of grease, minimizing clean-up time;
• Avoid the risk of tube kinking (potentially causing attenuation increments or fiber breakage);
• Simple mid-span breakout enabling single module extraction to aid distribution.

The cable flex tube construction solution can be chosen for the following applications:

• Direct buried;
• Rodent resistant;
• Gunshot resistant;
• Facade;
• Indoor and outdoor;
• Hybrid;
• Underwater;
• Tunnel.

Jacket Material - HDPE

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.
