Blown Cable – 288F – G657A1 – Singlemode – 200µm – 12FO Tube – Per Metre

Blown Cable – 288F – G657A1 – Singlemode – 200µm – 12FO Tube – Per Metre

The Blown Cable – 288F – G657A1 – Singlemode – 200µm – 12FO Tube – Per Metre is a premium high-density fibre optic micro cable engineered for blown fibre installations in FTTH, FTTX and large-scale telecommunications networks. Manufactured with 288 bend-resistant G.657A1 single-mode fibres, this compact cable delivers exceptional optical performance while maximising fibre density within microduct infrastructure.

Designed with 200µm optimised bend-loss fibres, the cable provides outstanding flexibility and reliable signal transmission, even through long and complex microduct routes. Its lightweight construction, water-blocked design and durable HDPE anti-rodent outer sheath offer superior environmental protection while enabling fast, efficient installation with reduced duct occupancy.

Manufactured to meet stringent international standards including IEC, ITU-T, Telcordia GR-20, RoHS and REACH, this blown fibre cable is ideal for telecom operators, broadband providers and infrastructure contractors requiring maximum fibre capacity within limited duct space.
