    Uploaded by

    Aderson Rodriguez Jara
    This document summarizes optical fiber cable designs from Furukawa Electric for underground and aerial installations. It describes loose tube cable constructions for duct, buried, lashed aerial, and self-supporting aerial applications. The cables feature proven technologies, a range of fiber types, dry core construction for easy handling, and armor for strength and rodent protection. Specifications are provided for cable dimensions, weights, tensile strengths, and bending radii for underground and aerial cables according to fiber count.
