The Cable system
…just fibers into a duct!
The main user cable can contain several ESFUs (Easy Strippable Fiber Units), each of which may contain 1 to 12 optical fibers. Fibers are then routed from the Riser Cable, through a breakout window, when a customer connection is required to be made.
The fibre units are protected by a flame retardant LSOH outer sheath.

11. 1 2 3 Three steps to get the fiber
The Stripping Tool safely cuts a breakout window in the riser cable, providing access to the fibres. 2
The selected fibre unit (ESFU) can be extracted and cut. This operation is performed some floors above the floor where the customer is to be connected (up to 25 m). 3
At the floor where the fibre connection is requested, the ESFU that was cut on the higher floor can now be easily extracted.
