Description
Loose Tube Flat Ribbon Fiber Cable Gel-Filled
Waveoptics® Loose tube Ribbon cables are designed for outdoor applications, these cables can be installed in ducts and they are known because of their outstanding carrying capacity.
Ribbon units are stranded around a fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) central strength member with PE is surrounded with water blocking yarns.
PE single jacket with additives makes a resistant, durable and easy to strip cable, providing superior protection against UV radiation, fungus, abrasion and other environmental factors.
Dielectric central strength member requires no bonding or grounding.
