Flexible Air Blown Fiber Optic Cable Duct ABF With HDPE Sheath High Stability
Description
- Air-blown fiber (ABF) is an ideal solution for time-critical and/or challenging data cable installations.
- Air-blown fiber also reduces future expansion costs and installation time by laying a foundation where additional fiber cables are added to an existing containing cable more efficiently.
- The fiber are coated with a soft acrylate resin.
- The outer sheath is a thermoplastic that is of low friction.
- The surface of the sheath is designed with special grooves, compared to the surface of the traditional optical fiber cable.
- It provides not only the high level of mechanical protection, but also the perfect blowing performance.
Fiber
SM: G652D. G655. G657 or other single-mode optical fibers.
MM: Ala. Alb or other multi-mode fibers
Material:
High Density polyethylene(HDPE), PA or other materials.
Color: Black or other colors.
Application:
ABF has been used indoors, on ships, outdoors including FTTH or practically anywhere conventional cables are used.
Characteristic
- The tubes come in many designs with single or some number of tubes inside a single jacket.
- Cables of tubes are installed like regular cables, meeting usual building codes.
- Couplings provide connections between tubes for longer runs or branching.
- Boxes of various designs allow routing tubes or terminating fibers.
Air blown fiber offers
- Greater flexibility for expansion.
- Less impact on existing fiber optic connection integrity.
- Less disruption to business operations.
- Expansions installed in hours not days.
