The Low Friction Indoor Cable has been designed for premise application in the FTTx network, especially where there are many existing cables and the duct is congested. As a result of optimizing the designs of outer dimension, sheath material and stiffness, the remarkable improvement of cable installation through a conduit line is demonstrated. Optical fibers are protected by low friction flame retardant polyethylene and the cable contains two steel strength members. It supports low radius of curvature, and it is supplied with G.657A2 fiber. In combination with Fast Field Connectors, this cable highly reduces the installation time and costs.
