Telenco Air Blown Fibre Assembly (ABF) – UG – 1F SM – 1.2mm – LC/APC to LC/APC Ferrule – 25m
The Telenco Air Blown Fibre Assembly (ABF) is a pre-connectorised single-mode fibre solution designed for installation by blowing through compatible microduct infrastructure. This 25m underground (UG) assembly features a compact 1.2mm nominal outer diameter, providing a lightweight fibre unit for efficient fibre network deployment.
The smooth-sheath ABF construction uses a UV-curable acrylate resin coating and HDPE outer sheath. The supplied datasheet specifies a nominal outer diameter of 1.2 ± 0.3mm and supports one or two fibres within the smooth-sheath construction.
This 1-fibre assembly is configured with an LC/APC connector and LC/APC ferrule arrangement at the blowing end, enabling the fibre to be supplied pre-terminated while remaining suitable for blown fibre installation. The datasheet details a pre-connectorised configuration with LC/APC connectivity and illustrates the protected ferrule, dust cap, spring, stopper and housing arrangement used for the air-blowing end.
The connector specification provides Grade B insertion loss performance, with a mean insertion loss of ≤0.12dB and ≤0.25dB maximum for at least 97% of connections. APC return loss is specified at ≥60dB.
