Enhanced Performance Fibre Units (EPFU) Air-blown Micro Cables
Cable Structure:
Optical fibres and filler elements are arranged in curing photosensitive resins to form a cable core. A low friction sheath is extruded outside the core.
Cable Type:
GCYFXY
Features:
- Using 657A1 or G.657.A2 bending insensitive fibres with a small bending radius, applicable to indoor laying
- Small size and light weight
- Unique design of sheath ensuring good air blowing performance
Applications:
- The cable can be used as the indoor drop cable in FTTH networks and can be laid by air blowing with a handheld device, to connect the family multimedia information boxes with the access point for subscribers
