SFU Air Blown Mini Cable (MINI) is small size, light weight, enhanced surface outer sheath fiber unit designed for blowing into micro tube bundles by air flow. The outer thermoplastic layer provides a high level of protection and excellent installation properties. It is usually applied in FTTX.
GL FIBER supplies various types of air blown cable. Its main product is central tube air blown cable and layer stranding air blow cable which has absolutely technical advantage in China and equivalent air blown performance as Europe products.

1. The cables are packed in carton, coiled on Bakelite & Fumigated wooden drum. During transportation, right tools should be used to avoid damaging the package and to handle with ease. Cables should be protected from moisture; kept away from high temperature and fire sparks; protected from over bending and crushing; protected from mechanical stress and damage.
2. Packing length :2000-5000m/reel.
