An Accurate Way To Reduce Friction For Communication Cable Installation.

Polywater® FTTx is a highly concentrated sprayable lubricant that greatly reduces cable friction with only a thin coating. The convenient application makes it a cleaner process compared to traditional wax and gel lubricants. FTTx is suitable for all types of communication cable installations and provides the lowest tensions in fiber drops, pushing cable, and data and OSP cable installations.

Specifications and Applications:

Viscosity: 250-750 cps @ 10 rpm.

Combustibility:FTTx has no flash point and dried residue is non-flammable.

Wetting—Continuous Coat: FTTx will wet out evenly on cable jacket surfaces. It will not bead up or rub off the cable jacket.

High-Performance Data Cables: FTTx has a minimal effect on the data-carrying capacity of high-speed Cat. 5E, 6, and 6A copper cable. As a “thin-film” lubricant, FTTx has no effect on FTTx has a minimal effect on cable signal attenuation.

Cable Compatibility: Conforms to the physical and performance requirements of Telcordia Standard TR-NWT-002811, generic requirements for cable pulling lubricants.
