Underground and duct fiber optic cables are outdoor network cables designed to be laid directly in the ground or in tele-technical ducts.
The 12FO (1X12) Duct Central Tube Fiber Optic Cable PE Anti Rodent Black (Part number: Z-XOTKtsd-CC2 1x12 A1 12J TFK) from FCA with 12FO and Anti Rodent construction. Conduit cables are underground cables, that may be conducted by duct or buried directly into the ground. There are several types of protections for this cable such as anti-rodent or double protection. Conduit cables are built to withstand harsh environments and are typically routed by pull or blow.
Fiber optic underground and duct cables are outdoor network cables designed to be laid directly in the ground or in tele-technical ducts. The cable sheath insulates the fibers inside, providing permanent protection against the damaging effects of climatic and mechanical factors such as increased temperature, crushing or flooding with water. The cable tubes are twisted around a central strength element, namely glass fiber, reinforced with two FRP rods. This reduces the risk of loss of transmission continuity and damage to the network, and the need for repair decreases as much as possible.
Anti-Rodent is a type of fiber optic cable protection designed to prevent damage from rodents such as rats, mice, and squirrels. This protection is achieved by applying a special coating or tape to the cable, making it difficult for rodents to chew through the cable and cause damage. Anti-rodent protection is particularly important in outdoor and underground installations where rodents are common, and can help to prevent costly and time-consuming repairs.
PE (polyethylene) is a versatile jacket material that offers good protection against moisture, abrasion, and chemicals. It is highly flexible and has a low coefficient of friction, which makes it easy to install and handle. PE is also resistant to UV radiation and can withstand a wide range of temperatures, making it a popular choice for outdoor and industrial applications. However, it is less flame-resistant than other materials, which may limit its use in certain environments.
