We're seeing about 0.3dB/km at 1550nm for this one—the attenuation's actually better than most G.657A1 builds on teh market, and it handles tight bends pretty well with that 10D static radius.
Basically what it does is it uses aramid yarn as the strength member instead of steel, so you get 600N tensile short-term but it's way more flexible for pulling through conduits or around corners in those European installations.
2 to 24 fibers in a single run, and you can pick form 12 standdard colors—blue, orange, green, usual stuff—so identifying splices later isn't a headache.
It's rated CPR Eca for fire, which is what most buyers go with for residential or commercial riser application, but honestly it's better than reagent grade for outdoor trunk lines too if you need that LSZH jacket.
The cladding's 124.8μm give or take 0.7μm, and the coating's 245μm ±5μm, which is tighter tolerance than some cheaper alternatives—usually that means less signal loss at the fusion points in my experience.
though: don't use this for direct burial without a duct—the crush resistance is 1000N/10cm short-term, but long-term it's only 300N, so ground pressure might crush it over time.
Standard core counts run from 2 to 24 fibers. If you need something outside that range, we can discuss custom options — just let us know your exact requirement and volume.
Yes, we supply test reports and certificates for CPR Eca, RoHS, CE, ISO9001, and VDE with each batch. Just request them when you place your order.
Our MOQ is typically 1000 meters for standard core counts and colors, but we can be flexible for repeat orders or larger quantities.
We can match custom colors if your order volume supports it — usually a minimum of 5000 meters. For smaller runs, you'll need to pick from the 12 standard colors.
For standard specs, lead time is around 2-3 weeks after order confirmation. Custom configurations may add a week or so depending on complexity.
