5G Fiber Optic Cables
To achieve accessibility in low density areas, providers need cable technology to easily deploy fiber to the home (FTTH) networks.
Fiber-Line™ Fiber Optic Cable solutions enhance the performance and prolong the life of FOC with water blocking yarns, strength members, and ripcords, enabling cable manufacturers to optimize slimmer, stronger, cables at longer aerial spans with lower tension—critical for rural FTTH networks.
