Optical Fiber Cables - AERIAL FIG-8

PTCL Cables offer Aerial Fig-8 Optical Fiber Cables. These are Self-Supporting cables designed for aerial installation. The cable design provides easy and economical one-step installation and stable performance over a wide temperature range. The whole tensile load is borne by steel messenger wire. These cables are manufactured according to international standard.

APPLICATIONS

  • Aerial Installation
  • High Mechanical Strength
  • Data, Voice & Video Transmission

CABLE CONSTRUCTION

  • Loose Tube filled with Gel
  • Stranded around Central Strength Member
  • Water Blocking Material
  • Dry Core
  • Corrugated Steel Tape
  • Messenger Wire embedded Polyethylene Outer Jacket

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

  • The unique extruding technology provides the
    fibers in the tube with good flexibility and bending
    endurance
  • The unique fiber excess length control method
    provides the cable with excellent mechanical and
    environmental properties
  • Multiple water blocking material filling provides
    dual water blocking function
  • Provides good crush resistance
