Fig -8 Self-Supporting Optical Fiber Cable

Fig-8 Self-Supporting Optical Fiber Cable
Description
•Protecting the primary coated optical fibers with loose tube.
•With stranded steel wire messenger, showing its cross section as figue-8 shape.
Characteristics
•Easy installation with stranded steel wire self-supporting, cut down the installation cost.
•Water- resistance for the whole cross-section by filling water-blocking gel in every production process.
•Stable control of optical fiber excess length.
•The additional loss of optical fiber is less than 0.02dB/Km and no dispersion values variation after cabled.
•Excellent environmental performance with applicable temperature range from -40°C to +70°C

Figure 8 Cable & Specifications
As a self-supporting aerial fiber cable, figure 8 fiber optic cable is a kind of fiber optic cable that is suitable for long-distance communication and inter-office communication. With steel stranded wire as the self-supporting part of the fiber optic cable, it can meet the very high tensile strength during installation and operation. 
Figure 8 shape and steel wire messenger also save the installation costs. This cable is a small size figure 8 fiber optic cable. With advantages of light, flexible and easy to construction, it's also one of the alternative cable for FTTH cabling network.
