EPFU Airblown Enhanced Performance Fibre Units
FEATURES：
1. Using G.657.A2 bending insensitive optical fiber, small bending radius
2. Small size and light weight
3. Unique sheath design ensures good blowing performance
Description
EPFU, Enhanced Performance Fiber Unit, is small size, light weight, enhanced surface outer sheath fiber unit designed for blowing into micro tube bundles by air flow. The outer thermoplastic layer provides a high level of protection and excellent installation properties.

1. EPFU Cable Type:
- EPFU:
- Enhanced Performance Fiber Unit: Designed for high-performance, typically used in environments requiring efficient, space-saving fiber solutions.
2. Structure:
- Micro-Sized Fiber Unit:
- Enhanced Performance Fibre Units cables are micro-sized, making them ideal for use in limited spaces.
- They often consist of one or more optical fibers enclosed within a thin protective coating.
- Protective Coating:
- The fibers are coated with a robust, low-friction material to protect them during installation and operation.
- This coating is usually designed to reduce friction, facilitating easier installation in ducts or conduits.
3. Characteristics:
- High-Density:
- EPFU cables are designed to offer a high fiber count within a small diameter, maximizing the use of available space.
- Flexibility:
- These cables are highly flexible, allowing them to be easily routed through narrow ducts or conduits.
- Ease of Installation:
- The low-friction coating ensures that the fibers can be easily blown or pulled through microducts.
- Durability:
- The protective coating and compact design help to protect the fibers from environmental and mechanical stress.
4. Applications of EPFU:
- Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH):
- It is widely used in FTTH installations, where compact, high-density fiber units are needed to reach individual homes.
- Duct Installations:
- Ideal for use in microduct installations, especially where space is limited.
- Telecommunications:
- Used in telecom networks requiring efficient fiber deployment with minimal space requirements.
Enhanced Performance Fibre Units cables are ideal for modern telecommunications networks, especially where space and installation efficiency are critical. Their compact design and ease of installation make them a popular choice in FTTH and other high-density fiber deployment scenarios.
