1F-4F FIG 8 Drop

Cable Construction Details:

  • Fiber Count: Available in 1F to 4F configurations.

  • Fiber Type: Suitable for tight bending and flexible installations.

  • Buffer Coating: Primary-coated fibers with typical 250µm coating diameter, color-coded for easy identification.

  • Strength Member: Integrated strength member.

  • Sheath Material: Outer sheath made of UV-resistant material, ensuring reduced smoke and toxicity in case of fire.

  • Cable Dimensions: Flat-profile cable with dimensions ranging from ~3.0 to 5.0 mm in width and ~1.5 to 3.0 mm in height, depending on fiber count.

  • Messenger Wire: A central steel or dielectric messenger wire provides added strength and enables aerial installation.

  • Rip Cord: Rip cord incorporated into the cable for easy stripping and quick access to fibers during installation.

  • Water Blocking: Water-blocking material added to prevent moisture ingress and maintain the integrity of the fibers, especially in outdoor environments.

  • Markings: Sequential length markings to help with accurate fiber deployment during installation.

Compatible with Aerial Drop Installations:

Standard Cross-Section Layout for 4 Fibers:

Special Features:

  • Compact FIG 8 Shape: The FIG 8 design allows for a flat, compact profile, making it ideal for discreet and space-efficient installations.

  • Lightweight and Flexible: Its lightweight construction provides easy handling and installation in a variety of environments, including tight spaces and ducts.

  • Messenger Wire for Aerial Installations: Equipped with a central messenger wire that supports aerial installations, ensuring stability and ease of mounting on poles or existing infrastructure.

  • Bend-Insensitive Fiber: Utilizes bend-insensitive fibers, which allow for installation in tight bends and high-density areas without compromising signal integrity.
