ACOPTIC - FTTH- MCD1521 HD
High-density micro-cables for blowing through micro-ducts
200µm fibre, M24, from 144 to 288 fibres
200µm fibre, M24, from 144 to 288 fibres
Benefits
- Density: Up to 3 times more fibres in the same Microducts as classic micro-cables : up to 192 fibres with 8/10 mm Microducts, 288 fibres with 10/12 mm
- Convenient: ACOME’s 200µm Optical fibre is fully compatible with G652D, G657A1 and G657A2
- Efficiency: Together with the low friction sheath material HDPE, the shape of the cable offers reduced contact surface to its low friction sheath.
Applications
-
ACOPTIC® is the range of ACOME’s optical cables solutions for telecom networks.
- MCD1521-HD cables are high-density Mini-Cables designed to be blown in Microducts installed for telecom networks (Transport and access networks).
- MCD1521-HD is designed to be used with small µducts either on new installation or to upgrade existing installations.
- This range of cables is blown on short and large distances, they have been tested on our own blowing track, but also by an independent third party
General characteristics
- Single Mode fibres with 200 µm diameter
- HD-Tube® with 24 fibres
- Central strength member : rigid FRP
- Watertightness: Dry water blocking elements
- Rip Cord
- Low friction outer jacket: HD Polyethylene
