ASTEL Steel Armored Aerial Fiber Optic Cable is a rugged outdoor fiber solution designed for aerial communication networks and long-distance optical transmission. Featuring a loose tube construction, steel armor protection, messenger wire support, and PE outer sheath, it provides excellent tensile strength, flexibility, and environmental resistance. The cable is ideal for telecom operators, ISP networks, surveillance systems, and outdoor fiber backbone deployments requiring reliable performance in challenging conditions.
Note 1:Fiber attenuation for tight buffer cables is little higher than bare fibers. Note 2:For more detailed specification on Fiber Core Characteristics, please write to us at asteldigicom@eim.ae or visit fiber core manufacturer’s website.
