Aerial Self-supporting Single Tube Cable - ASU Cable
The 2~12 Fibers ASU Cable(AS80 and AS120) is a Self-Supported Optical Cable, It was developed to provide the connection between devices, being indicated for installation in urban and rural networks, in spans of 80m or 120m. Because it is self-supported and totally dielectric, it has FRP strength member as a traction element, thus avoiding electrical discharges in the networks. It is easy to handle and install, eliminating the need to use strings or grounding.
Extra Description
After the cable core is filled with filling compound. It is covered with thin PE (polyethylene) inner sheath. After stranded layer of armaid yarns are applied over the inner sheath as strength member, the cable is completed with PE or AT (anti-tracking) outer sheath.
