PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Axial loose tube cable can comprise up to 24 optical fibres which are contained in a jelly filled loose tube strengthened with four non-metallic strength members bonded to a polyethylene (PE) sheath and an outer insect resistant Nylon jacket. Surface printing includes length marking at one metre intervals.
Axial loose tube cable is ideal for short and long haul point to point backbone applications. The water blocked, dry cable core design can be installed in-duct or direct-buried. The cable also provides additional tensile strength and crush resistance over conventional stranded and axial cable designs. Whilst the Nylon is UV stabilised, AFL recommends the use of an additional sacrificial black PE sheath where the cable will be directly exposed to UV rays.
