Duplex Zip Twin Cable
Fibre Cabling and Solutions
Tight Buffered Distribution Cable
Fibre Fox zip twin cables, often referred to as duplex cables, are constructed with two simplex units joined together by a
central web. These tight jacketed cables utilise 900 micron buffered fibre and are constructed into 2.8mm cables. In addition,
mini zip twin cable is also available, using 600 micron buffers.
The Fibre Fox Multi-purpose Tight Buffered Distribution Cable provides a cost effective solution to all internal /external
datacomms cabling requirements, particularly where on-site direct connections are the preferred termination technique.
Features & Benefits
Applications
• Range of fibres available
• Direct termination
• Compact rugged construction
• LSZH sheath
• Multimode fibre: Hytrel tight buffered
• Singlemode fibre: Easistrip gelfree LSZH semi-tight
buffered providing 30cm stripping for quick termination
• Mini zip twin: Nylon tight buffered
Ideal for patch leads, pigtails, test leads etc.
The cable consists of individually colour coded 900μm secondary coated fibres, embedded in an E-glass yarn, and
oversheathed with a single Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket. The jacket is flame retardant, UV stabilised and
extremely resistant to the ingress of moisture. A choice of multimode and singlemode fibre types and specifications are
offered, with fibre counts from two to twenty four in the standard range.
Their small diameter, lightweight and excellent environmental performance makes these cables ideal for installation in a
broad range of network applications including LAN backbones, networks with mixed indoor and outdoor cabling, outdoor in
flooded ducts and any premises distribution system.
