Standard or laser optimised fibres for extended distances
Provides rodent resistance
Application
Nexans UD loose tube fibre cables have been designed for applications where a high level of installation, environmental and optical features are required.
The construction is suitable for use outdoor in ducts and for direct burial. It is a full dielectric armouring design providing rodent resistance. The dielectric armouring consists of half FRP elements and half fillers. The tube is gel filled and has a capacity of up to 24 fibres. The cable has a HDPE outer jacket.
Applications support :
FDDI 100 Mbps
Ethernet 10 base FL
Fast Ethernet 100 base FX
Gbit Ethernet 1000 base SX/LX
10Gbit Ethernet 10000 base SX(*)
Fibre Channel 1.0625 Gbps
ATM 155 Mbps
ATM 622 Mbps
Performance
Nexans loose tube fibre cables are available with a choice of fibres which include laser optimised solutions. These allow Gigabit applications to run over extended distances saving considerable expense on active equipment.
