The Optix multi-purpose uni-loose tube distribution cable provides a highly cost effective solution to all internal or external datacomms cabling requirements, particularly where on site fusion splicing of pigtails is the preferred termination technique.
The cable consists of a single central uni-tube containing individually colour coded 250μm buffered fibres. This tube is embedded in an Aramid yarn strength member, and oversheathed with a single Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket. The outer jacket is flame retardant, UV stabilised and extremely resistant to the ingress of moisture.
A choice of multimode and singlemode fibre types and specifications are offered (see fibre specification sheet) with fibre counts from four to twenty-four in the standard range.
Their very small diameter, light weight and excellent environmental performance makes these cables ideal for installation in a broad range of network applications including LAN backbones, networks with mixed indoor and outdoor cabling, outdoor in flooded ducts and any premises distribution system.
