TightBEND™ delivers high-performance routing and reliable protection in riser and backbone environments. Its 900 µm tight-buffered construction allows for direct termination without fanout kits, and its dry-core swellable elements provide longitudinal water protection without messy gels.
Ideal for LAN, data centres, and indoor/outdoor transitions, TightBEND™ includes high-tensile aramid yarns, an LSZH UV-stabilised sheath, and colour-coded fibres for quick identification. Available in 4 to 24-fibre configurations, it's suited to both single-mode and multimode networks.
