Aerial and duct cable 5.0mm - PIA

Description

Description

Standards

IEC 60794; IEC 60793

This cable is designed for outdoor duct and aerial installations. It features a loose tube construction containing 1 fibre, filled with jelly for fibre protection. The cable includes water-blocking materials to prevent moisture ingress. Its outer sheath is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and includes two fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) elements embedded symmetrically in the sheath for added strength and stability.

 

Breaking load: max 2000N
