Uni-tube Air-Blown Micro Optical Fiber Cable For FTTx Network 

Power system Lighting-prone areas

■ Product Overview:

The cable structure consists of optical fibers housed in a high-modulus plastic loose tube filled with tube-filling compound. Aramid yarn reinforcement is applied outside the loose tube, followed by an extruded grooved sheath. This cable is specifically designed for air-blowing installations in access networks.

 

■ Key Features:

• Compact size and lightweight: Facilitates easy deployment.

• Tube filling compound: Provides critical fiber protection.

• Grooved sheath design: Enhances air-blowing efficiency.

• Phased blowing installation: Reduces initial investment costs.

• High-speed blowing (up to 50 m/min) and long-distance blowing (up to 1,000 m).

• Replaceable design: Allows cable removal and replacement for future upgrades.

• On-demand branching: Enables micro-duct cutting at any point without disrupting existing cables, minimizing manholes and splice points.
