Superior Essex BF08-012U10-E991 Figure 8 Fttp Fiber Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX BF08-012U10-E991 is a 12-fiber Figure 8 FTTP (Fiber to the Premises) drop cable with a rodent and weather protected (RWP) PVC jacket. Designed for outside plant fiber distribution, this cable serves as a self-supporting aerial drop solution, combining the messenger wire and fiber bundle in a single Figure 8 profile. The RWP rating and PVC outer jacket provide protection against moisture, UV exposure, and physical damage during outdoor installation. It is sold as a single unit and is suited for installation by licensed fiber and low-voltage telecommunications technicians.

This cable is intended for FTTP last-mile distribution runs, connecting fiber distribution terminals to customer premises in residential and commercial deployments. The Figure 8 construction allows for aerial lashing or self-supporting strand installations without requiring a separate messenger cable. The slotted core design organizes the 12-fiber count for straightforward splicing and termination at both the distribution terminal and the premises entry point.

Key Features

• 12-fiber count supports high-density FTTP drop applications
• Figure 8 profile integrates messenger strand and fiber bundle in one jacket
• RWP construction resists rodent damage and moisture ingress
• PVC outer jacket rated for outdoor aerial and direct-burial-adjacent environments
• Slotted core design simplifies fiber access during termination and splicing
• Single-unit packaging for precise inventory and job-site quantity control

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style drop cable for FTTP outside plant distribution systems where a 12-fiber self-supporting aerial Figure 8 drop cable with RWP PVC jacketing is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified fiber optic or low-voltage telecommunications technicians familiar with outside plant practices and applicable local codes. De-energize any co-located power infrastructure before working in shared aerial corridors. Use proper cable grips and tension hardware rated for the cable diameter when lashing or suspending the Figure 8 messenger strand. Avoid sharp bend radii during pull and termination to prevent attenuation or fiber damage.
