Aerial Flat Self-Supporting Non-Armored Fiber Optic Cable

Aerial Flat Self-Supporting Non-Armored Fiber Optic Cable is a specialized type of fiber optic cable designed for aerial installations without the need for additional support structures. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

1. Structure & Design

• Flat Shape: Designed for easy handling and installation.
• Self-Supporting: Includes a built-in messenger wire (typically steel or FRP) that eliminates the need for an external support strand.
• Non-Armored: Lacks an extra metal or corrugated steel armor, making it lightweight and more flexible.

2. Applications

• Used in FTTH (Fiber to the Home) and other aerial fiber deployments.
• Suitable for short-to-medium span aerial installations in urban and rural areas.
• Commonly used for pole-to-pole installations in telecom and broadband networks.

3. Advantages

• Easy Installation – No need for additional support hardware.
• Cost-Effective – Lightweight design reduces material and labor costs.
• Good Tensile Strength – The messenger wire provides stability.
• Weather Resistant – Can withstand outdoor conditions like wind, rain, and UV exposure.
