Direct Burial Fiber Optic Cable Stranded Loose Tube Armored Cable

Direct Buried Fiber Optic Cable: Efficient Underground Deployment

Direct Buried Fiber Optic Cable

Direct buried fiber optic cable is designed for underground deployment, eliminating the need for ducts or aerial installations. Armored with steel tape or steel wire, it withstands external mechanical damage and soil erosion. This makes it a cost-effective and efficient solution for various communication needs.

Description

Hone direct burial fiber optic cable is an armored cable designed to resist external mechanical damage and soil erosion. The fiber optic units are protected by steel tape and a double outer sheath, making it suitable for direct burial. This method is the most convenient for laying fiber optic cable and saves on duct and aerial installation costs.

Application

This cable is ideal for long-distance communication and inter-office communication.

Features

  • Convenient construction and installation
  • Good mechanical and temperature performance
  • Crush resistance and flexibility for direct buried construction
  • APL moisture barrier
  • PSP enhancing moisture proofing
  • Water-blocking material for underground application
