Application

Used for core network, city area network and access network. Its suitable for direct buried , also inside duct or cable
tunnel installation.

Product Characteristic

1.

With good crush resistance and moisture-proof performance

2.

Reasonable structure design and precise control for over length ensuring excellent characteristics of mechanical

tensile strain and environment temperature

High strength loose tube material with good performance of hydrolysis resistant, special tube filling compound ensure a
critical protection of fiber.
