This range of COF fibre cables CW is specifically designed and manufactured for installation into underground duct by the use of direct pulling techniques with a rope or glass fibre pulling rod. CW cable is for use in transmission systems operating over the wavelength range nm to nm.
The individual fibre and tube colour identification scheme used is in accordance with CW The required number of tubes plus dummy fillers where required are assembled helically around a non-metallic central strength member, the design being specially chosen to ensure that the cable is neutrally balanced along its central axis. The interstices contain water blocking before the application of a water blocking binder tape and black high-density polyethylene sheath, two rip cords are inserted, diametrically opposite, under the sheath to aid stripping and termination of the cable.
The robust polyethylene sheath used by Tratos meets or exceeds the requirements of BS EN and ensures outstanding pliability and protection. Tratos has developed CW Fibre Cable to have the optimum balance of properties, toughness to pulling into ducts combined with a smooth, low coefficient of friction, surface, to ease installation and prevent jamming.
The Step Index single-mode optical fibre SMF fibres used to manufacture these cables for BT met or exceed the requirements for both Category 2 as specified in CW for systems operating in the wavelength range of nm to nm.
