Distribution Cable

Designed to face installation conditions, extreme temperature conditions and fire safety norms for indoor use. The main design consideration is base tight buffer construction. The fibers are covered by color coded buffering material which increases the diameter from 0.25mm to 0.9mm. These strengthened fibers are surrounded by dielectric strength members and a flame-retardant outer jacket. The buffer is easy to strip allowing fast and reliable splicing. These cables are ideal for intrabuilding cabling and their fiber count varies from 2 to 48 fibers.

Teracom indoor cables are constructed with highest quality optical fibers from internationally reputed manufacturers and the cable manufacturing is done under strict quality assurance system adhering to ISO 9001 Quality System.

 
Features Benefits
Flexible and Light Weight Easy handling of the cable..
Flame Retardent Best for indoor installations.
High performance Tight Buffered coating Gives environmental and mechanical protection.
