TeraSpan has developed several high-performance cables that provide maximum fiber density within diameters of just 1.6, 4 or 6 milimeters. Crush-resistant and able to withstand extreme temperatures, the fully-tested VIF cables are designed to create seamless networks: they can be used both indoors and outdoors, with simple mating using the VIF system. Unlike traditional copper cables, no grounding is required.
TeraSpan's VIF spools are optimized for versatile storage and transport. With the use of a small, custom-built spool dolly, one worker can move over 4 km of cable around single-handedly.
Types of Cable:
12F 4mm Single Mode Fiber Cable
