|
Fiber Optic Buffer Tube
|
Fiber optic cable manufacturers typically use a polymer buffer tube to encase and protect the fragile and expensive optical fiber. Because fiber optic cables are often buried underground, the buffer tube must protect the glass fiber from chemicals and moisture and prevent it from bending too far while still allowing some movement of the fiber in the cable.
|
|
Fiber Optic Junction Box
|
ANTEC/Keptel’s innovative approach designed SFOSE housings so linemen could access a large number of lines within one housing. The size of the housings placed a premium on light weight, durability, and dimensional stability.
