QFXI Loose tube

QFXI

QFXI

Fiberoptical cable for the oil- and offshore industry and other harsh environments, with Mica-tape for use in vital communication and emergency systems, which needs to be operational during a fire situation (90 min. 1000°C).The cable has excellent communication properties and is tested to be operative in high temperatures which means that it can maintain vital communication in case of a fire situation. The fibers are protected in jelly filled loose tubes stranded around a central strength member to ensure optimum performance and long life. Each fiber and loose tube is color coded for easy identification during splicing and termination.
