Enhanced Performance Fibre Units (EPFU) Air Blown Micro Fiber Optic Cable
Air blown fiber optical cable structure is to put the air blown fiber optic cable in a loose tube made of high modulus material. The non-toxic and harmless waterproof compound is filled in the loose tube. Also, the aramid yarns is placed outside the loose tube Extruded PE sheath.
Characteristics:
Small diameter, light weight, moderate hardness and softness, easy to bend when air blowing laying, easy to operate;
All non-metallic structure, no need of grounding, long air blowing distance;
Make full use of pipe hole resources, use air-blown laying facility to speed up construction, and lay a long distance at a time;
With the growth of communication business, it can be blown into optical cables in batches, and the investment can be carried out step by step, so as to reduce the early investment;
Micro-cables can be blown out to facilitate the replacement of new types of fiber optic cables in the future and keep ahead in technology;
Suitable for construction in crowded metropolitan area network pipelines, avoiding destructive excavation in the past;
Suitable for backbone network, metropolitan area network and access network;
