Product Description
FOS high-strength nylon jacket loose tube
is a stranded dielectric loose tube fibre cable.
This cable is particularly suited to external underground installations in ducts by pulling, jetting or floating techniques or by direct burial in open-cut trenches. The high strength nature of the cable ensures adequate protection in expansive, rocky or termite prone areas.
Loose tube cable offers a cost-effective and rugged solution for medium and long distance external fibre runs.
FOS nylon jacket loose tube cable is available by special order typically in Singlemode.
