Fiberhome Micro Cable 2.5 mm 8FO G.657A1 PE orange on 4 km drum

Fiberhome Micro Cable 2.5 mm 8FO G.657A1 PE in orange on a 4 km drum is a compact optical cable intended for installations that require small-diameter, bend-insensitive fibre. The cable contains eight single-mode fibres with G.657A1 bending-loss characteristics inside a 2.5 mm polyethylene (PE) sheath, supplied on a long continuous drum to simplify large-scale deployments. Its orange jacket and micro profile make it suitable for tight spaces, microduct routing, drop cables for FTTH and other distribution scenarios where a flexible, low-profile fibre is needed.

Advantages

The cable's G.657A1 fibres provide improved bend performance compared with standard single-mode fibres, reducing loss in tight-radius installations and around corners. The 2.5 mm small-diameter construction allows higher packing density in microducts and conduits while the PE sheath ensures mechanical protection and outdoor resistance. Supplied on a 4 km drum, the product reduces jointing and splicing frequency for long runs and speeds up deployment in large projects.

Suitable for

• FTTH drop and building distribution
• Microduct and micro-trunk installations
• Tight-bend routing in premises or facades
• Long continuous outdoor or indoor runs requiring compact cable

Key specifications

• Number of fibres: 8 single-mode fibres
• Fibre bending performance: ITU-T G.657A1 (bend-insensitive)
• Cable diameter: 2.5 mm
• Sheath material: polyethylene (PE)
• Jacket colour: orange
• Pack length: 4,000 metres on drum

How to use

Route the micro cable through appropriate microducts, conduits or along building routes, avoiding excessive tensile loads and sharp kinks. During installation maintain the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius for G.657A1 fibres where possible, and use proper cable guides, rollers and pulling lubricants for long runs. For termination, carefully prepare fibres and use suitable connectorisation or splicing methods for single-mode fibres, following standard fibre handling procedures to prevent contamination and microbending.

Usage recommendations

The product is intended for both indoor and outdoor FTTH distribution; protect exposed sections from direct mechanical damage and UV when prolonged sunlight exposure is expected. For best long-term performance, observe storage and installation temperature ranges and avoid repeated tight bending at the same point.
