• Fire performance: CPR classification Dca s1 a1 d0 at a
thickness of 350µm
• Low shrinkage
• Water, UV, and chemical resistance
• Low coefficient of friction (CoF)
• Reduced overall cable weight cable by
reducing the jacket thickness from 550µm to
350µm
• Increased the lifetime value of the cable by
providing superior chemical and UV resistance
• Provided low CoF on the inner layer, making
the solution suitable for use with micro ducts
as it’s easier to blow cables inside
