QFCU Mica (QFCI Mica-MUD)

QFCB Mica (OFCI MUD)

Variant:

Fiber optical cable for the oil- and offshore industry, commercial marine vessels and other harsh environments. 
The cable has excellent communication properties,the fibers are protected in jelly filled loose tubes strandeded 
around a central strength member to ensure optimum perfomance and long life. Each fiber and loose tube are 
colour coded for easy identification during spicing and termination.
The cable is rodent protected and and outer jacket of MUD resistant material.
