FTTH Air Blown Cable 8 G652D EPFU Enhanced Performance Fiber Unit
Description
Enhanced Performance Fibre Unit (also known as EPFU, ABF, air blown fiber unit) is designed for blowing in 5/3.5mm microduct. Extremely small fibre unit manufactured with a rough HDPE jacket to help air capture on cable surface and enhance blowing performance. It is engineered for blown fibre applications in FTTx. The optical fibres are protected by a soft inner acrylate layer and an outer HDPE layer.
