Construction
Loose tube cable constructions (up to 432 optical fibers) with aluminum interlock armor and an overall plenum flame rated jacket. Steel interlock is also available.
Applications
Armor-Tek fiber cables can be used in any of the following installation enviroments: indoor/outdoor, in backbones, between closets and in fiber to the desk. Armor-Tek is a viable and cost effective solution for applications where a pathway is beyond its full ratio, for areas where extra physical security is a concern, in fast track installations, between buildings, direct buried, or in trays.
Berk-Tek recommends installation procedures per ANSI/TIA-758, Customer-owned Outside Plant Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard.
Berk-Tek's Adventum Loose Tube fiber optic cables (U.S. Patent No. 6,178,278) are suitable for all passive and active optical network designs requiring high speed data applications, including (but not limited to):
- 10BASE-FL
- 100BASE-SX/100BASE-FX
- ATM 155/ATM622
- 1000BASE-SX/1000BASE-LX
- Fibre Channel 1.062/2.125
- 10GBASE-SR/SW
- 10GBASE-LX4
- 40/100 GbE
Features
- Multimode, Single-mode and GIGAlite™ fibers
- Available with new bend-optimized single-mode fibers
- Jacketed armor remains flexible due to the spiral wrap armoring process
- Easy one-pull installation into any environment
- Compact outside diameters when compared to plenum innerduct or conduit
- High tensile strength, crush resistant
- Available Harsh Environment (HE), cables offer superior resistance to chemicals and fuels. Suitable for Petro-Chemical, Industrial, and airport installations.
Benefits
- Eliminates the need for conduit or plenum innerduct
- Significant cost savings in both materials and labor - up to 25%
- Accommodates last minute relocations or pathway changes
- Provides a higher concentration of cables in an area than conduit
- Can be installed in campus environments due to the durability and indoor/outdoor rating of the cable
- Armor provides crush protection and protection from rodent attacks
