Kenya Anti-Catmarking Optical Cable 2 Cores

2-core outdoor FTTH fiber optic cables in Kenya are available with anti-catmarking, flame-retardant, and weather-resistant features, suitable for high-speed singlemode transmission.

Key Features

• Core and Fiber Type: 2 singlemode fibers (9-micron core), compliant with ITU-T G.652.D standards, ensuring compatibility with existing singlemode networks and high-speed data transmission .
• Sheath and Safety: Low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) or flame-retardant PVC sheath, self-extinguishing, and vertical burn tested to prevent fire propagation .
• Durability: Designed for outdoor use with robust, weather-resistant jackets, capable of withstanding direct sunlight, harsh weather, and mechanical stress .
• Construction: Self-supporting bow-type design with an additional strength member of stranded steel wire, providing high tensile strength and resistance to bending or pulling during installation .
• Installation: Suitable for aerial deployment, outdoor-to-indoor transitions, and vertical tray applications. The novel groove design allows easy stripping, splicing, and field termination .
• Length Options: Commonly available in 1 km and 2 km lengths, with some suppliers offering bulk spools for larger installations .
• Performance: Optimized for high-speed optical networks, including FTTX and FTTH deployments, supporting wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm .
