(Part code: OFPT)
 |  Detail |  Detail |
The Optical Fiber Protection Tubing (OFPT) offers the ultimate protection to optical fibres and cables. It provides protection against crushing and kinking of fibres and hazardous tensile loads, while limiting any bends to an acceptable radius. The unique patented technology which makes very hard materials flexible, is specifically designed with this purpose in mind. OFPT provides an entire, self-managing solution to the routing of fibre.
OFPT is available in many sizes and a range of tough, stable, fire retardant and low smoke zero halogen materials to suit your exact requirements. Digital Telecomms can supply OFPT with the fibre and any strength members required already in place. OFPT is supplied in standard reel sizes with incremental length markings as well as cut to length. OFPT is available with a slit for retro-fitting for 4mm OD product and above. All OFPT sizes can be supplied with a pull cord.
Special features:
- Dramatically reduces transient losses due to micro bends
- Offers superior crush protection for fibre
- Used to manufacture Bend Insensitive Fibre Drops
- Ideal for cabled fibre in MDU’s and blown fibre applications
- Smooth inner bore eases use and eliminates micro bending Ordering information
Advantages:
- Tough
- Lightweight – as little as 5g/m
- Compact – small diameter down to 3mm
- Flexible – grooving allows tough polymer to be flexible
- Anti-kink property
- Very high crush resistance – upto 1400N
- Slit version – suitable for retro-fitting over installed fibre
- Small bend radius – down to 5x OD
Applications:
4em;" />Used in any fibre application where enhanced protection is necessary. OFPT can be used for both short and long runs, from patch cords to industrial installations. Slit OFPT can be retro fitted using the appropriate Zipping tool where the cabled fibre is already installed or is pre-terminated.
