What Is The Difference In Connectorization In Tight Buffered And Loose Tube Type Of Cables? |
|
Answer» A tight buffer CABLE can be terminated directly. THe 900 micron COATING on the fiber is rugged enough to allow the connection to be connected directly and if there is a 3 mm jacket, it is CRIMPED to the connector for STRENGTH. A loose tube cable has 250 micron buffer on the fiber in it and is too fragile to attach a connector directly. It has be be used with a breakout kit that SLEEVES the fiber in a protective tube before termination. A tight buffer cable can be terminated directly.
