Optical Fiber Cable FIBERHOME Micro Cable 2.5 mm, 2-core (2FO), G.657A1, 2 km drum

Single-mode optical fiber cable FIBERHOME Micro Cable 2.5 mm, 2-core (2FO), designed according to ITU-T G.657A1 bending-loss characteristics. The cable features a compact 2.5 mm outer diameter and two optical fibers on a 2 km drum, intended for short-distance fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) drop lines, installation in micro-ducts or small ducts, and mixed indoor/outdoor routing where low bend sensitivity and small cable cross-section are required.

Advantages

The 2.5 mm micro cable provides reduced bend sensitivity in line with G.657A1, enabling tighter installation radii without significant signal loss. Its small diameter and lightweight construction simplify handling, pulling and storage on the 2 km drum, while two optical cores allow straightforward point-to-point connections or splicing for FTTH drops. The design supports both indoor and outdoor routing, offering protection suitable for short aerial, duct and micro-duct applications.

Suitable for

• FTTH drop lines from distribution points to customer premises
• Short-distance runs in micro-ducts or small conduits
• Indoor/outdoor transitions where low bend sensitivity is required
• Short aerial or wall-mounted fiber runs in urban environments

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode, G.657A1 bending-loss characteristic
• Number of fibers: 2 cores (2FO)
• Cable outer diameter: 2.5 mm
• Drum length: 2 kilometres
• Construction: micro cable suitable for duct, micro-duct and indoor/outdoor routing
• Bend performance: optimized for tight bending and reduced macro-bend loss

How to use

Unwind required cable length from the 2 km drum, avoiding twisting and excessive tension during pulling. Route the cable through micro-ducts, ducts, or along indoor pathways, maintaining bend radii recommended for G.657A1 fibers to preserve optical performance. For FTTH drop installations, cut and prepare fiber ends for splicing or connectorization according to standard fiber termination procedures. Use appropriate protection at entry points and fastening locations to prevent abrasion or mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For best results, follow industry-standard installation practices: keep pulling tensions within manufacturer limits, use a suitable lubricator when pulling through micro-ducts, avoid tight bends beyond the recommended minimum radius, and protect exposed fiber ends during splicing and termination. Store the drum on a level surface and handle with care to prevent damage to the cable jacket and fibers.
