Product Overview

The factory made, quality controlled fiber optic assembly is specified for short internal optical links. The 900µm tight buffer presentation lends itself to installation within a patch panel, wall box or Optical Distribution Frame (ODF).

Crush resistant protective tubing assures 900μm tails protection during transportation and installation. The high tensile strength pulling element allows fast, safe and effective pulling action.

The overall assembly and packing are light and compact, reducing transport cost and storage space. Installation waste is also reduced. A unique link loss certificate accompanies all Distribution multifiber assemblies.
