Description
The cable type is longitudinally water-blocked and intended for outdoor use (in ducts). The design can incorporate 12 to 432 fibres in loose tubes. The individually coloured fibres are tubed in groups of maximum 12, and stranded onto a central dielectric fibre reinforced strength member (FRP). The cable type is longitudinal water-blocked through the use of water-swellable materials and sheathed with halogenfree black polyethylene.
