Free Bending Optical Cord

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• * 2.5 mm minimum bending radius.
• * Keep same optical characteristics as conventional fiber.
• * User can handle this cord without special knowledge about optical fiber.
• * Telecom Carrier / System bender can save both labor cost and deploy / maintenance cost after deployment.
• * This smallest bend radius can make realize to minimize the size of optical transmission equipments.
• * Free Bending Optical Cord is based on the newest fiber technology called as hole assisted fiber, holey fiber, micro-structured fiber and so on.

APPLICATIONS

• * In door wiring for FTTH.
• * In/On system wiring for telecom systems.

CONFIGURATIONS

• * Cord diameter : 4mmФ, 1.7mmФ
• * Connector type: SPC/SC, APC/SC, APC/LC (1.7mm_only)
