Breakout Fiber Cable

Applications

These optical fiber cables are designed to data transmission in ship and specially in cruise ship where low smoke, halogen free and flame retardant cables are required to increase safety on board, suitable for flexible installation on and below deck of commercial ships without constant exposure to oil, grease and other lubricants.
