A self-supporting flat drop cable for indoor/outdoor aerial access into buildings. The fibre unit sits in the centre with two parallel FRP or steel wire strength members either side, plus an additional steel wire strength member, all in a black or coloured LSZH sheath. An identification guide runs along the bottom of the cable.
Construction
- 250 µm coloured fibre
