The Enhanced Performance Fibre Units (EPFU) Air Blown Micro Fiber Optic Cable is a high-performance loose tube cable designed for air-blown installation in microducts. It features a flexible, lightweight construction optimized for long-distance blowing with minimal friction. The fibers are housed in a gel-free loose tube, ensuring fast and clean installation while providing moisture resistance and mechanical protection. With low bending loss and high fiber density, EPFU cables are ideal for FTTH, metro networks, and data centers, enabling scalable, cost-effective fiber deployments.
