ASU 80M Span 12 Core Outdoor Cable G652D
ASU 80M Span 12 Core Outdoor Cable G652D Aerial Self-Supported ASU Fiber Optic Cable has a loose tube structure and water-resistant gel compound to provide crucial protection for the fiber. Over the tube, water-blocking material is applied to keep the cable watertight. Two parallel fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) elements are placed on the two sides. The cable is covered with a single PE outer sheath. It is especially suitable for installation in aerial for long-distance communication
Structure: Single loose tube construction, jelly compound filled, then PE outer sheath with two non-metallic strength members combined.
Fiber color code:
Fiber color in each tube starts from No. 1 Blue.

The 2~24 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.
