InDuct

InDuct A standard dielectric cable for installation in ducts with no risk of rodent attacks.

Overview

InDuct is a standard underground fiber optic cable. It’s an all-dielectric and UV-resistant design. This cable typically consists of a stranded core with a central strength member (FRP), dry loose tubes with optical fibers (one or more layers — it depends on the fiber count which can be up to 288 fibers) and a single outer jacket. The stranded core is fixed by water-swellable yarns. Additionally, water-swellable tape can be added.

Very important note: this InDuct cable has no levels of rodent resistance.
