DRAKA Universal Fiber Optic Cable DRAKA-U-DQ(ZN)BH 24 fibers B2ca

Fiber Optic Cable DRAKA U-DQ(ZN)BH 24E

The DRAKA U-DQ(ZN)BH 24E is a high-quality, universal fiber optic cable designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. The single-mode fibers are placed in a central loose tube filled with gel, which protects them from moisture and minimizes movement during installation and operation. The cable structure is reinforced with glass fibers that not only protect it from mechanical damage but also provide effective rodent protection.

Thanks to its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, the cable does not propagate flames or release toxic substances, making it a safe choice for indoor installations. At the same time, its high UV resistance allows for outdoor use, e.g., in secondary ducts, cable trays, or directly in the ground where it is not exposed to direct mechanical damage.

The DRAKA U-DQ(ZN)BH 24E is an ideal solution for modern FTTH (Fiber to the Home), FTTB (Fiber to the Building) networks, data centers, and inter-building connections. Its universal design eliminates the need for transitions between outdoor and indoor cables, reducing the number of splices and switches required.

Key Features:

• Universal use – suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
• FireBur LSZH jacket – low smoke emission, halogen-free, enhanced fire safety.
• UV-resistant – suitable for outdoor installation.
• Central loose tube filled with gel – protects fibers from moisture and vibrations.
• Glass fiber reinforcement – protects against rodents and mechanical damage.
• Ripcord – for quick and easy jacket removal.
• Flexible construction – suitable for ducts, cable trays, and conduits.
• CPR Class: Eca – compliant with European fire safety standards.
