Optical fiber cable electro base MD-UT-8F-4067, 8 fibers, 5.5 mm diameter, 40 m span

Optical fiber cable electro base MD-UT-8F-4067 is an aerial distribution cable with 8 optical fibers and a compact 5.5 mm outer diameter designed for outdoor overhead installations up to 40 m span. The cable is intended for short aerial runs and point-to-point links, providing a lightweight solution for telecom, internet and CCTV backhaul where reduced weight and small diameter simplify attachment to poles or building facades.

Advantages

This aerial optical fiber cable combines a small physical profile with 8 single-mode fibers, enabling compact fiber routing in constrained aerial corridors. Its reduced diameter and low weight reduce mechanical load on supporting structures and make installation faster. The construction offers protection against environmental exposure common in outdoor overhead installations and supports stable signal transmission for short-span aerial links.

Suitable for

• Short aerial point-to-point links between poles or buildings
• Last-mile telecom and internet backhaul in urban or suburban areas
• CCTV and security camera network backhaul
• Temporary or permanent overhead fiber deployments with limited space

Key specifications

• Number of fibers: 8
• Outer diameter: 5.5 mm
• Recommended maximum span: 40 m between supports
• Cable type: aerial overhead optical fiber cable
• Typical application: outdoor point-to-point and short aerial runs
• Weight and flexibility: designed for low mechanical load and easy handling

How to use

Install the cable along the planned aerial route attaching it to poles or building fixings at regular intervals not exceeding the recommended 40 m span. Use appropriate clamps or cable supports to secure the cable and maintain the minimum bending radius specified by the fiber manufacturer. Terminate fibers in suitable outdoor-rated closures or distribution boxes and perform standard splicing or connectorization according to site requirements. Ensure proper tensioning to avoid excessive sag while allowing thermal expansion and contraction.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, inspect attachment points periodically, protect exposed terminations with weatherproof closures, and avoid routing the cable near high-voltage lines or sources of mechanical abrasion. Follow industry best practices for aerial fiber installation to maintain signal integrity and mechanical safety.
