Tight-Buffered Fiber Optic Cables for Indoor Applications | Simplex & Duplex Fiber Cables

 What is an Indoor Tight-Buffered Fiber Optic Cable?

Indoor tight-buffered fibers (900μm tight-buffered) are used as a central structure and are armed with Kevlar aramid yarns which are with a good flame retarding feature. They are even more flexible than outdoor loose-tube cables. They are more compact; therefore, can be used indoors as preferred. 

It is used often in the following basic cases: 

  • It is a connection between the distribution frame and the equipment, the patch cords. 

  • In-house connectivity of devices (like ONU, transceiver). 

  • Drop wiring FTTH (Fiber to Home) gives line connection to homes. 

  • Fabrication of fiber pigtails and patch cords. 

The cables come with easy stripping, superior flexibility, and universal installation for various amplification purposes in communications or networking systems.

 Zion Indoor Tight-Buffered Cable Product Range 

Zion Communication gives a complete series of indoor tight-buffered cables, differentiated into four major categories:

 

1️⃣ Tight-Buffered Fiber 

  • Structure: (900μm) Tight buffered fibers that, if needed, can come with the outer coat or remain bare 

  • Advantages: Simple for fusion or mechanical splicing, easy handling, and wrapping. 

  • Applications: Proper for the pigtails, patch cords, and indoor connections for short distances. 

  • Recommended Types: G.657.A1 / A2, G.652.D 

Tight-Buffered Fiber



2️⃣ Simplex Round Indoor Cable 

  • Structure: One 900μm tight-buffered fiber reinforced with Kevlar strength members and LSZH or PVC flame-retardant sheath. 

  • Advantages: High-reliability, low smoke, and LSZH which is compatible with standard connectors. 

  • Typical Use: A patch cord form device-to-device connections, patch panels, FTTH, and intelligent building wiring. 


Simplex Round Indoor Cable



3️⃣ Standard Parallel Duplex Flat Indoor Cable (Type A) 

  • Structure: Two equal lengths of 900μm tight-buffered fibers, with a flat LSZH jacket or surrounded by an outer jacket. 

  • Advantages: Ideal for flat surface layouts, having an easy installation, and maintaining flexibility. 

  • Typical Use: The optical transceivers, ONU devices, and duplex communication modules are the ones to which this is a connection line. 

Standard Parallel Duplex Flat Indoor Cable



4️⃣ Enhanced Duplex Flat Indoor Cable (Type B) 

  • Structure: Fibers and FRP or Steel wire as the strength component in the cable, protected by an LSZH flat jacket (available both black and white). 

  • Advantages: Enhanced tensile and compression strength may be operated for longer connections and for complex routing. 

  • Applications: Building backbone extension, splitter connect, and indoor FTTH systems demanding higher mechanical durability.
