TIGHT BUFFER DISTRIBUTION PVC/LSZH JACKETED CABLE TIGHT
Application
This cable is used for interconnection of the distribution boxes and end devices. The cable is very suitable for various indoor and outdoor applications, including routing between buildings within ducts and inside building up to riser shafts.
Description
The Distribution Cable consists of color-coded PVC tight buffered fi bers. The fi bers are reinforced with aramid yarn for superior strength and contains no metallic elements. The fi bers are jacketed with Flame Retardant PVC or LSZH compound.
