equivalent.
The
Micro GROOVE cable has a grooved outer sheath which additionally
facilitates blowing the cable
in.
All fibres are
color coded according to eia/tia-598 coding standard. Each tube
containing up to 24 fibres is filled with hydrophobic gel to protect the
fibres from moisture and vibrations. The cables are designed
for installation using pneumatic methods
(blowing).
