The Outdoor Figure-8 Aerial Fiber Optic Cable is engineered for aerial installations, featuring a figure-8 design that integrates the optical fiber cable with a steel messenger wire. This configuration provides self-supporting capabilities, eliminating the need for separate support structures and simplifying installation.
Key Features:
- Available in configurations ranging from 1 to 288 fibers, accommodating both single-mode and multi-mode fibers to meet diverse network requirements.
- Designed to perform reliably in a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to +70°C, making it suitable for various climatic conditions.
- Ideal for long-distance communication and inter-office connections, particularly in aerial installations where a self-supporting cable is advantageous. The figure-8 design and steel wire messenger reduce installation costs and time.
- The integrated steel messenger wire provides high tensile strength, supporting the cable’s weight and environmental loads without additional support structures.
- Made with materials that offer resistance to environmental factors such as UV radiation, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring longevity in outdoor settings.
