QFCU Mica (QFCI Mica MUD)

QFCU Mica (QFCI MUD)

Variant:

Fiberoptical cable with Mica-tape for use in vital communication and emergency systems, which needs to be operational during
a fire situation (90 min. 750°C). For use in emergency systems, marine and offshore applications, commercial marine vessels,
in hars environments. The fibers are protected in jelly filled loose tubes stranded around a central strength member to ensure high performance and long endurance. Indvidual colours for each fiber. 62.5, 50 and 9 µm fibers. MUD resistant jacket.
