Cabo de fibra ótica exterior DRAKA A-DQ(ZN)B2Y 8x12E9 96 fibras monomodo OS2 5,0 kN

Outdoor fiber optic cabling often fails when exposed to moisture, rodents, or mechanical stress, leading to network downtime and costly repairs. The DRAKA A-DQ(ZN)B2Y 8x12E9 solves these challenges with a robust, gel-free design engineered for long-term reliability in harsh environments. Its 96 single-mode fibers (8 tubes × 12 fibers) deliver high-capacity data transmission with low attenuation, while the non-metallic rodent protection and dry water-blocking core ensure stable performance without messy gels. Rated for 5.0 kN tensile strength and 2000 N crush resistance, this cable withstands demanding installation and operational conditions.

Who is it for

This cable is ideal for telecom operators, ISPs, and enterprise network builders deploying outdoor backbone or distribution links. It suits campus networks, metropolitan area networks (MAN), and long-haul feeder routes where reliable, high-fiber-count connectivity is essential. Contractors and system integrators will appreciate its lightweight, gel-free construction that speeds up splicing and reduces cleanup time.

Main features

• 96 single-mode fibers (OS2, G.652.D) in 8 loose tubes for high-density backbone applications
• Non-metallic rodent protection with glass yarns – no grounding required, immune to lightning
• Dry core with swellable elements – gel-free, fast splicing, no messy cleanup
• Polyethylene (PE) black sheath with UV resistance for outdoor durability
• High tensile strength (5.0 kN) and crush resistance (2000 N/10 cm) for demanding installations

Tips

For best performance, avoid exceeding the specified bending radius during installation and operation. Use appropriate pulling grips and lubricants to minimize stress on the cable. The dry core design eliminates the need for gel cleanup, but ensure all splice closures are properly sealed to maintain water resistance.
