2.1 Introduction
The optical fiber unit is positioned in the center. Two parallel fiber reinforced plastics (KFRP) are placed at two sides. A steel wire as the additional strength member is also applied. Then the cable is completed with black LSZH sheath.
2.2 Fiber color code
Fiber color starts from No. 1 Blue.
