Air Blown Cable EPFU 2-12Fiber G657A1 Yellow HDPE

EPFU (Enhanced Performance Fiber Unit) Air Blown Cable is a type of fiber optic cable designed for easy installation and flexibility in telecommunications networks. It is part of the air-blown fiber (ABF) technology, which uses compressed air to blow lightweight fiber optic cables into ducts. This type of cable is particularly useful for rapid deployment and easy network upgrades or expansions and mainly used in FTTH, FTTD and MDU networks.

Fiber Optic Cable, ABF Cable, Air Blown Cable EPFU EPSU

The ABF/EPFU is the cable that with small diameter, lightweight, highly flexibility and proper stiffness, and it can be blown into the microduct of 5.0/3.5mm. The fibres are coated with a soft acrylate resin which provides excellent dimensional and thermal stability to cushion the fibres, in addition, the resin can be easily stripped in connecting the fibres. The outer sheath is a thermoplastic that is of low friction. The surface of the sheath is designed with smooth, it provides not only the high level of mechanical protection, but also the perfect blowing performance.

Note: It is recommended that the structure of 2 fibres unit consist of 2 filled fibres, for it is proved that 2 fibres unit with 2 filled fibres is better than the one with zero or one filled fibre in the blowing performance and the fibre stripping-ability
