24F Enhanced Performance Fiber Unit EPFU

24F EPFU refers to a 24-fiber Enhanced Performance Fiber Unit, a specialized type of optical fiber cable designed for high-density and space-efficient installations, particularly in telecommunications and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) applications.

The ABF is the product that with small diameter, lightweight, highly flexibility and proper stiffness, and it can be blown into the microduct of 5.0/3.5mm. The fibres are coated with a soft acrylate resin which provides excellent dimensional and thermal stability to cushion the fibres, in addition, the resin can be easily stripped in connecting the fibres. The outer sheath is a thermoplastic that is of low friction. The surface of the sheath is designed with special grooves, compared to the surface of the traditional optical fibre cable, it provides not only the high level of mechanical protection, but also the perfect blowing performance.

1.Cable Type:

• 24F EPFU:
  • 24F: Indicates that the cable contains 24 optical fibers.
  • EPFU: Stands for Enhanced Performance Fiber Unit, known for its compact design and efficient installation properties.
