Overview
The Polywater® Lubricant FTTX is a high-performance cable pulling lubricant specifically engineered for fiber-to-the-x (FTTX) and micro-duct installations. Designed for ease of use in diverse field environments, this specialized formula reduces friction between the cable jacket and the conduit, facilitating longer pulls and minimizing the risk of cable damage during deployment.
This lubricant is supplied in a convenient spray bottle, allowing for precise application in tight spaces, such as manholes, handholes, or at the entrance of micro-ducts. It is compatible with a wide range of common fiber optic cable jackets and conduit materials, ensuring versatility for network contractors and installers working on small-diameter fiber infrastructure.
