EPFU Enhanced Performance Fibre Units Air-Blown Micro Optical Fiber Cable

EPFU
Enhanced Performance Fibre Units Air-Blown Micro Optical Fiber Cable For FTTx Network FTTH

Introduction:

Optical fibers and filler elements are placed in parallel in the photosensitive resin to form the cable core. Finally, a low-friction material is extruded outside the core to form an outer sheath, Designed with special grooves to advance blowing distance and can be used to lay the optical cable using air blowing equipment.

Features:

● 2、4、6、8 and 12 fibres options.  G657A2 Bending insensitive fibers.
● Stable structure, good mechanical and temperature performance.
● Designed with special grooves to advance blowing distance.
● Lightweight and proper stiffness , repeat installation.
● Designed with no gel, easy stripping and handling.
● Better costs advantage compared to traditional product.
● Complete accessories, less manpower, lower installation time.
