The Hexatronic slim duct cable series combines state of the art installation performance, ultra-low attenuation and a high mechanical and environmental performance.
The cable type is typically used in transport applications such as terrestrial long-haul or metro networks where low attenuation and cable performance are prime concerns.
With a reduced outside cable diameter and optimised cable stiffness, the cables can be air-blown or water-jetted long distances without the need for splicing. A reduced cable diameter also allows for reduced duct diameters which will simplify and reduce the cost of material handling in field.
Thanks to the central strength member design and a robust sheath the cables can also be installed by traditional pulling techniques.
The cables are based on a dry concentric core, slim loose tube design with up to 16 tubes per cable. The cables have one or two layers of inner protective tubes made of a robust PBT compound where each tube has 12 fibers.
The design facilitates easy fibre preparation and mid-span access.
- Primary coated fiber: Silica, acrylate
- Loose tube: PBT
- Central strength member: Glass fiber reinforced plastic, PE
- Slit up yarn: Aramide yarn
- Wrapping: Water blocking yarns
- Sheath: Polyethylene, halogen-free
Black fillers can replace empty white tubes.
