Fiber Optic Buffer Tubes 50m

Our Fiber Optic Buffer Tubes provide an essential secondary layer of mechanical protection for bare optical fibers. These hollow tubes are designed to house and safeguard 250µm or 900µm fibers from physical damage, moisture, and environmental stress. Ideal for use in splice closures, distribution boxes, and patch panels, they ensure your network remains robust and organized.

Available in convenient 20-metre and 50-metre coils, these tubes are the preferred choice for technicians performing complex splicing or cable management tasks.

Key Features

• Flexible Protection: High-quality polymer construction offers excellent flexibility while maintaining a high crush resistance to protect the fiber inside.

• Low Friction Interior: Engineered with a smooth inner wall to allow for easy, snag-free fiber insertion over long lengths.

• Organized Management: Simplifies the routing of loose fibers within high-density environments like the 96-Core Dome Closure or 24-Core FAT Box.

• Chemical & UV Resistant: Built to withstand industrial environments, providing a long-lasting barrier against contaminants.

• Easy to Cut: Can be trimmed to precise lengths with standard fiber tools without kinking or collapsing the tube.

Technical Specifications

Why Use These Buffer Tubes?

1. Macro-bend Protection: By providing a structured path for the fiber, these tubes help maintain the minimum bend radius, preventing signal loss (attenuation).

2. Versatile Deployment: Essential for “breaking out” fibers from larger distribution cables into individual splice trays.

3. Cost-Effective Durability: Protects your investment in high-quality fiber by preventing accidental snaps during routine maintenance or cabinet re-organizations.

Common Applications

• Splice Closures: Organizing fibers within dome or horizontal closures.

• Terminal Boxes: Protecting pigtails and incoming fibers in FAT or ATB boxes.

• Field Repairs: Adding a protective layer to fibers after stripping back damaged cable jackets.
