OPGW/Ground Wire
Applied in the construction of fiber-optic link on overhead transmission lines of 35 kV and more.
InAir Self-Supporting
Applied for aerial installation on distribution and high voltage power lines, as well as railway catenary.
Specialty Cable
For fiber optic monitoring systems.
Fire Rated
Used for stationary installation when the optical fiber needs extra protection from mechanical damages.
InTube
Applied in tubes, ducts, trays, blocks, tunnels, collecting channels, with no risk of rodent attacks. Also applied for aerial installation between supports and buildings on external strength members or using the winding method.
InDuct
Applied in ducts, trays, blocks, tunnels, collecting channels, with a risk of rodent attacks.
InGround
Applied in harsh environments with potential mechanical impact: in all ground types, swamps and harsh rivers.
InWater
Applied in sea areas (coastal shelf and deep-sea), on navigable rivers, in lakes and water storage basins, in harsh environments, in bogs and unnavigable rivers.
InAir Figure 8
Applied for aerial installations: on power lines, lamp posts, between buildings and constructions. Suitable for aerial installation on transmission equipment and power facilities in dielectric package.
FTTH-Distribution
Applied inside buildings (including vertical runs), in trays, channels, on outer sides of buildings, as well as in duct, in tubes and blocks. Suitable for blowing-in into protecting polyethylene tubes.
FTTH-Subscribers
Applied inside buildings and premises, in trays, cable channels, in duct, tubes and blocks. It is also applied on outer sides of buildings and for optical cords manufacturing.
FTTH-Drop
Applied for aerial installation on transmission towers, lamp posts, between buildings and constructions.
