Application
The Hexatronic Viper series of micro cables are characterized by state of the art installation performance when installed by blowing into microducts. Particularly, installations in access networks with difficult routes, which are facilitated by the enhanced performance of the Viper cables.
All parameters such as cable diameter, sheath friction, cable stiffness etc are optimized for best installation performance without compromising mechanical or environmental properties.
The micro cables are based on a slim loose tube design with up to 36 tubes per cable. The design facilitates fiber preparation and mid-span access. The cables are suitable for long-distance, air blown installation in microducts, with an inner diameter of 8 to 16 mm, depending on fiber count. The cables have excellent bend performance and an extremely wide operational temperature range.
Design
The Micro Cables are designed with one, two or three layers of inner protective tubes made of a unique compound. The compound gives a special strength to the product, while increasing the bending properties as well as other benefits such as extreme temperature resistance.
To enable installation into smallest possible microducts, the Hexatronic Viper 200 series is designed with 200 µm fibers.
