Description
Type QXXE MICRO is a loose tube fibre optical cable. The cable type is intended for use in regional, urban, and area property networks.
Standards
International : IEC 60793; IEC 60794; ITU-T Rec. G.650; ITU-T Rec. G.652Description
The cable type is longitudinally water-blocked and intended for outdoor use (in ducts). The design can incorporate 12 to 288 fibres in loose tubes with a diameter of 1.6mm, 1.9mm or 2,1 mm. The individually coloured fibres are tubed in groups of maximum 12 or 24 (tube 1.9/2.1), and stranded onto a central dielectric fibre reinforced strength member (FRP). The cable type is longitudinal water-blocked through the use of swellable yarn and sheathed with halogen-free black polyethylene.
