The mini nylon loose-tube cable series combines ultra-low attenuation, state of the art installation performance and ultra compact size. Reduced diameter loose tube combines the same excellent performance of standard nylon loose tube, in a robust and compact form factor. Its reduced size is a benefit to both asset owners and installers, facilitating faster installation, easier handling, and less duct congestion.

The cables are based on a dry waterblocked concentric core, slim loose tube design with up to 12 tubes per cable.

The cables have one or two layers of protective SZ laid tubes made of a robust PBT compound where each tube has 12 fibers. (excluding 6f)

The tubes are jacketed by a black HDPE and blue Nylon sheath in compliance with AS 1049.

The design facilitates easy fiber preparation and mid-span access.
