12-fibre AXAI, 9/OS2, SC/PC-SC/PC

Pre-terminated break-out cable for connecting optical units. The cable is terminated in both ends when delivered.

• Connector type: SC/PC according to IEC 61 754-4
• Fibre type: Single mode according to ITU-T G652D and ITU-T G657A1
• Cable type: AXAI, tight buffer, fire retardant and halogen free
• Each fibre in the cable is protected with a 3 mm furcation tube at the ends
• Each fibre in the cable is distributed to the ends via a fan-out
• The fibres are gradually reduced in length (see data sheet)
• As an option the cable can be delivered with protection and pull sleeve
• Combined in- and outdoor use
• Other lengths are quickly delivered from our production in Drammen. Please contact us

A manifold is attached at the end of the cable to fan out the fibres in a controlled way. Each fibre is individually protected by a 3.0 mm tube. Length of free fibre will be as illustrated below. For cables with more than 2 fibres the length of the 2 or 4 next fibres will increase with 5 cm (+0/-5 cm) for every 2. or 4. fibre.

As an option the connector side of the cable may be protected with a flexible tube. There are 2 types:  

• Protection cable-end (with or without pulling grip): This is made from a flexible tube and is meant as transport/pulling protection before and during installation and is completely removed after use. Outside this tube an optional cable pulling grip may be placed if the cable shall be pulled through tubes. 
• Protection cable-end, detachable: Here the protection may be taken of and put back on again, it is therefore suited when the cable will be moved several times. The disadvantage may be that the protection attachment can not be removed from the cable.
