eABF cables are designed by AFL to offer the most rugged and reliable enterprise-based blown fiber solution in the market today. The cable design combines a light-weight, low-drag jacketing system that allows the cable to be blown long distances. The cable series also features additional attributes that set this product above and beyond traditional blown fiber cables. These enhanced features include mechanical strengthening that permits the cable to comply with industry-standard premise interconnect specifications. In addition, the eABF cable series feature flame-resistance characteristics which result in stand-alone riser and plenum rated options suitable for routing outside of the micro-duct system. Because of these mechanical, environmental and optical qualifications, eABF cables can also be installed in third-party, flame-rated duct and pathway systems.

FEATURES

• Flame rating options include:
• Plenum OFNP per NFPA 262 OFNP
• Riser OFNR per NFPA NEC 2005 Art 770.51(B)
