6mm - 48 Fiber Cable
Cables Product 12480
Description
TeraSpan's Vertical Inlaid Fiber (VIF) cable is designed for use with TeraSpan's VIF installation system. The cable is a
micro-cable, loose-tube design for outdoor environments.
Applications
Outdoor cable for Vertical Inlaid Fiber installations
Utilized as an indoor cable within conduit systems
Features/Benefits
Small outside diameter
Cable sheath composed of a Polyethylene
Features a ripcord
All-dielectric cable design. No grounding required
Loose buffer tube design
Dry cable core for faster preparation time
48-fiber count cable ideal for last-mile installations
VIF cable allows for the same cable to be used indoors and outdoors, with simple mating using the VIF system
