A-DF(ZN)2Y
APPLICATION
The cable is determined for outdoor aerial lines, for building of telecommunication networks, installation of LANs and cable TV networks and information systems in power engineering and industry. Cable can be installed by blowing or pulling to protective tubes, pulling to cable ducts, putting into concrete blocks, eventually to sand bed or to cable trays.
PROPERTIES
• FULL DIELECTRIC CONSTRUCTION
• MAX. NUMBER OF FIBRES 96
• MAX. NUMBER OF CORES 8
• ARAMIDE STRENGTH ELEMENTS
• PE JACKET
The design of cables allows high tensile loads. The filled cores provide very good longitudinal waterproofing. Possibility of delivery also in flame retardant version according to IEC 332-3/I-DF(ZN)H/.

PACKING, DELIVERING, STORAGE, TRANSPORT
Optical cables are supplied twisted on wooden or metal drums with diameters of 500 to 1500mm, shorter lengths twisted to coils.
To every supplied length is attached test protocol and tag with these data:
- producer´s mark
- cable identification
- cable length in meters
- production date
- stamp of quality control
The whole cable can be marked with description on a jacket on request of a client.
Cables can be stored in general in open-air area or in warehouses. They cannot be exposed to thermal radiation and they cannot be stored together with flammable liquids or solvents or with products containing them.
It is necessary to assure that cables are not damaged by mechanical or other effects by transport.
