Used as a distribution cable for suspension on the utility poles, electricity pylons, between buildings, and for cabling inside buildings, in cable ducts, pipes, also for outdoor cabling along the external facades of buildings.
The cable has loose tube (? Or tight tube) optical fibers. FRP rods are used as strength members. Steel wire is used as a messenger. Fibers, the strength members, and the messenger are covered with overall jacket. The cable jacket is made of a flame retardant, halogen-free, low-smoke polymer composition.
The cable jacket color is black.
The maximum possible count of optical fibers in the cable is 8.
