For optical fibre infrastructure, this cable can be used as general purpose product for direct burial, cable ducts, surface-laid troughs, or track side cable support fencing.
• Cable ducts
• Surface-laid troughs
• Track side cable support fencing
• Exposed run surface attached
A rugged UV stabilised polymeric sheath cable of circular crosssection,
incorporating integral power feed members and a clear bore suitable to contain the required fibre assembly. The construction is suitable for use in crossing under or over high voltage cables up to 11kV.
Installation criteria
For duct use, normal pulling attachments and methods can be used.
Maximum pulling tension = 400N (<0.5% Strain). POFC can also be installed using air blown techniques.
Power Connection
A small clip on IDC Terminal will soon be available that allows tapping at any point along the cable. A Drop Cable Stripper enables the power conductors to be separated from the fibre for power connection at the terminal ends of the cable.
Cable fibre count / capacity
Can contain up to 16 primary buffered fibres plus dry, swellable, water blocking cords.
Power Feed
2 x 19 AWG Copper Conductors
Optical fibre type
Fibre provided in accordance with customer specified requirement.
please contact your nearest Miniflex representative to discuss your
particular application.
Cable sheath
Black medium density olyethylene,
stabilised against UV degradation. Marked
with two (2) yellow coloured stripes to
indicate cable contains optical fibres. The
cable is printed with indelible white
traceable batch numbers, fibre content, and
incremental distance marking.
Power conductors
The power feed conductors are 19AWG (0.65
square mm) (0.91mm diameter) with a
resistance of approximately 0.0264 Ohms/m.
If the voltage and current required to run
the remote FOT are specified and the
maximum voltage available from the power
supply is known, it is easy to calculate the
maximum useable length of cable from:-
L= (Vs - Vc) / Ic. Rc
Where Vs = available voltage from supply;
Vc = required FOT voltage;
Ic = required;
FOT current and Rc = cable resistance per
metre, which in this case is 2 x 0.0264
ohms/m.
