Product Details

Description
This nonconductive optical fiber riser cable comes with the option of 2-12 fibers with a dry central tube.  The central tube includes an absorbent polymer that soaks up any interior moisture.  The cable is designed for flexibility and is incredibly easy to install.  The dry loose tube construction of the cable also makes for easy termination when necessary.  Aramid fiber yarn serves as the overall strength member of the cable.  The assembly is jacketed in a black UB and moisture-resistant coating that composed of flame retardant materials.  Sequential markings on the exterior jacket measure footage for reference during installation.
