Application
The Unique-Tel NWGL series of micro cables are characterized by
state of the art installation performance when installed by blowing
into micro ducts. 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
twelve tubes per cable. The design facilitates fiber preparation
and mid-span access. The cables are suitable for long-distance, air
blown installation in micro ducts, with an inner diameter of as
little as 8 to 12 mm.
The cables have excellent bend performance and an extremely wide
operational temperature range.
Design
The Micro Cables are designed with inner protective tubes made of a
unique Poly-amide compound. The Poly-amide gives a special strength
to the product, while increasing the bending properties as well as
other benefits such as extreme temperature resistance.
As a result, The Viper Micro Cables are more durable during the
installation process as they are able to withstand rough handling.
The unique cable design with an extended operational temperature
range of -45 to +70°C can be used in many environments, on all
continents where heat and cold are often a major concern.
