Main cable families

FTTH Cables

"Fibre to the Home".New concept very simple cables.

A new series of optical cables especially designed for last mile network cabling. Considering the increasing development of broadband services, this type of cable will be one of the most rapidly developing sectors in the next few years.

They provide a simple solution for different installation systems, including using compressed air to blow into pre-installed tubes.

These cables are designed to be used inside buildings to connect individual flats.The cables runs vertically from the bottom to the top of the building, and one or more of the cables in the bundle can be branched off at any point and connected to the end user.

As a next step in our FTTH system solution. Tratos Cavi Spa developed the wiring of single and multi-dwelling family units, with fiber optic cables and connectivity inside the building, from the outside plant cable termination to the customer's interface.

We developed a complete indoor fibre solution incorporated in the production range.

The deployment of FTTH raises many challenges in these environments since building infrastructures can be very different.

In brownfield applications FTTH wiring is very often installed as the third network infrastructure in a building, where twisted pair copper and coax cabling in the past were installed.

FTTH Cables.TRATOSMICRO®

TRATOSPICO®

1. Bundle of 24 micro optical cables covered with LSZH sheath.

Its outer diameter is 8.00mm maximum. Any micro cables inside the cable bundle have one single optical fibre and are reinforced with a secondary tight acrylic coating plus aramidic yarns and covered with a nylon layer.

2. Micro cable with fibres inside steel corrosion resistant tube.

Steel wire armour and HDPE sheathed, suitable for end user connection in particular environments.

3-4. Two single or double fibre micro cables for home installation.

Summary of advantage.• Very compact to fit into small conduits and building floor access

points;• Extremely flexible small diameter cables in combination with miniaturised cable accessories;• Reduced need for on-site pre-audits;• The horizontal drop cables can be pulled through existing ducts due to their renforcement;• A reduced amount of connectivity points (splices, connectors) shortens the installation time;• The time spent inside the customer's premises is minimized;• Optimized for brownfield construction networks.
