1/2/4F Armored Butterfly Drop Cable for Duct 6.8mm
- 2 fibers (2F), G.652D or bend-insensitive G.657.A1/A2
- Corrugated aluminum armor resists crushing and rodent damage
- Dual parallel strength members provide tensile support with flexibility
- Built-in water-blocking tape prevents moisture ingress
- Tearable butterfly structure allows tool-free mid-span access
- Suitable for outdoor ducts drops and indoor FTTH installation
Abalone Tech’s Armored Butterfly Drop Cable is designed for demanding duct installations in FTTH and telecom networks. The cable features an armored construction where the Butterfly drop cable is positioned in the center, two parallel additional strength members are placed at the two sides, and it is wrapped with a layer of water-blocking tape and aluminum armored tape, then completed with an outer sheath. This robust design provides superior crush resistance, moisture protection, and tensile strength for underground deployments.
FEATURES:
- Fiber Type:G.652D or bend-insensitive G.657.A1/A2
- Reinforced with corrugated aluminum armor for crush & rodent resistance
- Figure-8 design separates fiber unit from strength member (steel wire/FRP)
- Smooth sheath for easy duct blowing/pulling and aerial deployment
- Water-blocking protection for moisture resistance
- Flexible, durable, and ideal for FTTH/duct/harsh environments
