Hexatronic Stingray is a high performance Air Blown Fiber Unit intended for blowing into microducts. The main application area is for fiber access networks such as Fiber To The Home (FTTH).
The Hexatronic Stingray Air Blown Fiber is designed with durability and performance in mind. The unique design offers a combination of properties previously not available on the market. A sturdy fiber unit with state of the art fiber blowing performance increases the installation success rate and provides quick and problem free installation. The Stingray has a unique jacket material with zero jacket shrinkage ,wich means no fragile splice points or sensitive installations in wall outlets or fiber cabinets.
The Air Blown Fiber unit is colored dark blue for good visibility when installed in semi-translucent microducts.
To enable installation into smallest possible microducts, the Hexatronic Stingray 200 series is designed with 200 µm fibers.
The Air Blown Fiber is delivered in bulk lengths in cardboard PANs. For optimum blowing performance, use the Hexatronic Air Blown Tool LTT 179 2040.

1. Primary coated fiber: Silica, acrylate
2. Primary coating: UV-cured acrylate
3. Sheath: Low friction polyolefin
Air blown fiber: IEC 60794-5-20
Bend radius: IEC 60794-1-21, Method E11
Crush resistance: IEC 60794-1-21 Method E3
Kink: IEC 60794-1-21 Method E10
Tensile force during installation: IEC 60794-1-22, Method F1
Fiber parameters and tests according to the IEC series 60793-2 and 60793-1
Typical installation performance:
12 fiber: Ducts ID 3.5-4 mm: 1000 m
24 fiber: Ducts ID 3.5-4 mm: recommended 500 m, max 1000 m
24 fiber: Ducts ID 6 mm: 1000 m
Installation performance is affected by the installed path, environmental conditions, installation equipment etc and actual performance may therefore deviate from the above specified values.
Use the correct fiber guides togehter with the Hexatronic Air Blown Installation Tool:
- 12 fiber: SXA1139427/2 and SXA1139428/2
- 24 fiber: SXA1139427/3 and SXA1139428/3
Specific installation notes for 24F Stingray: Be careful during installation not to fall below the minimum bending diameter to avoid kinking. See detailed installation instruction 1533-RPM259 (link in download tab in product page on the web).
- Minimum diameter for multiple bends is 235mm.
- For slack storage in e.g. cabinets a protective 3mm tube shall be used (the tube is supplied with the pan).
- For smaller bends than the minimum bend diameter the outer sheath and the acrylate matrix must be removed.
Water immersion and repeated freeze test:
Hexatronic standard test, 100 cycles, –25, to +15ºC
Supplied lengths:
12 fiber: 1000, 2000, 4000, 6000 m
24 fiber: 1000 m
