GCYFY Stranded Loose Tube Air-blown Micro Fiber Optic Cable

GCYFY                                                                                            

Stranded Loose Tube Air-blown Micro Fiber Optic Cable for 

FTTH Metropolitan area Access networks

■ Introduction:

Optical fibres are housed in a loose tube that is made of high-modulus plastic and filled with tube filling compounds.Aramid yarns are placed outside the loose tube as the strength member, then a sheath with grooves is extruded. This type of cable is particularly applicable to air-blowing constructions in access networks.

■ Features:

Small size and light weight.

Tube filling compound providing key protection for fibres.

Unique design of sheath with grooves ensuring good air blowing performance.

Allowing to blow by phases to reduce initial investment.

High blowing speed up to 50m/min, and long blowing distance up to 1000m.

Allowing to blow out and replace with new cables to keep technical superiority.

Allowing to cut micro ducts anywhere anytime for branch without influences on other cables, saving manholes, hand holes and cable joints.
