Uni-tube Fiber Optic Cable 12 Cores – High-Performance Outdoor Single Mode Solution for Reliable Long-Distance Communication This Uni-tube fiber optic cable, featuring 12 robust G652D single-mode fibers, is engineered for superior performance in demanding outdoor environments. Designed with a minimalist yet highly functional structure, it delivers exceptional signal integrity over extended distances—ideal for inter-office connectivity, telecom backbone networks, and aerial installations. Each core is housed within a dedicated
loose tube filled with a water-blocking gel compound, ensuring protection against moisture intrusion while maintaining optimal optical transmission characteristics. Key Features: - **12-Core G652D Single-Mode Fiber**: Optimized for low attenuation at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, enabling high-speed data transfer across long-haul links. - **Waterproof Design**: Integrated water-blocking tape and gel-filled tubes prevent longitudinal water ingress, enhancing durability in humid or wet conditions. - **High Mechanical Strength**: With a long-term tensile strength of 600N and short-term capacity up to 1500N, this cable resists pulling forces during installation and operation. - **Robust Crush Resistance**: Supports 300N/10cm (long-term) and 1000N/10cm (short-term) crush loads, making it suitable for direct burial or conduit placement. - **Flexible Bending Radius**: Minimum dynamic bend radius of 20D and static radius of 10D ensure safe handling during routing around corners or tight spaces. - **Wide Operating Temperature Range**: Functions reliably from -40°C to +70°C, ideal for diverse climates including arctic regions and desert zones. - **Compact Diameter Options**: Available in 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, or 9mm outer diameters to suit various installation methods—from aerial dropline to duct-laying. Detailed Description: The Uni-tube fiber optic cable leverages an innovative single-tube architecture where each fiber resides independently in its own buffer tube, minimizing crosstalk and maximizing signal clarity. This design reduces material usage without compromising performance, resulting in lighter weight and easier deployment compared to traditional multi-tube configurations. The use of premium-grade G652D fibers ensures minimal signal loss, with attenuation levels as low as 0.35 dB/km at 1310nm and under 0.22 dB/km at 1550nm—critical for maintaining bandwidth efficiency over hundreds of kilometers. The steel-reinforced armor layer adds mechanical resilience, while the UV-resistant polyethylene jacket protects against environmental degradation such as sunlight exposure, chemical contact, and abrasion. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications infrastructure projects, including FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home), metropolitan area networks (MANs), and rural broadband expansion. Its suitability for aerial, duct, and direct burial installations makes it a versatile choice for network operators seeking cost-effective, future-proof solutions. Whether deployed in urban settings or remote locations, this cable supports scalable fiber networks that meet global standards for reliability and longevity. User Feedback: Users consistently praise the cable’s ease of termination, consistent signal quality, and resistance to weather-related damage. Many installers highlight how the compact design simplifies storage and reduces labor costs during splicing operations. Network engineers appreciate the stability of the 12-core configuration, which allows for efficient channel multiplexing and future upgrades without replacing entire cables. Common Questions: What makes this cable suitable for outdoor applications? Its waterproof construction, temperature tolerance, and armored jacket make it resistant to rain, snow, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures—perfect for outdoor deployments. Can I install this cable in harsh climates? Yes, it performs reliably in environments ranging from -40°C to +70°C, making it appropriate for polar regions, deserts, and tropical areas alike. How does the 12-core layout improve efficiency? By isolating each fiber in its own tube, the design minimizes interference, enhances flexibility, and facilitates individual testing or maintenance without affecting adjacent cores. Is this cable compliant with international telecom standards? Yes, it meets or exceeds IEC, ITU-T, and ISO specifications for single-mode fiber optics used in long-distance communication systems worldwide.
