Adventum Tight Buffer Plenum Rated Drop Cable
Description
Berk-Tek’s Adventum Tight-Buffer cable is designed specifically for FTTH, MDU, MTU deployments. This design incorporates 1 or 2 tight buffered optical fibers within a dry water blocked buffer tube. Suitable for operation across wide temperature variations typically addressed by outside plant cables. No Buffer Tube Fan Out Kits are required. Direct Termination is enabled.
Description
Standards
International : EN 50173; ISO/IEC 11801National : ANSI/ICEA S-104-696; ANSI/ICEA S-83-596; ANSI/ICEA S-87-640; ANSI/TIA-568-C.3; Telcordia GR-409
Description
This plenum flame rated drop cable design accommodates 1 or 2 tight buffered optical fibers. Berk-Tek's loose tube tight buffered drop cables are available in Multimode, Single-mode, and GIGAlite fibers.
Construction
Each DryGel water blocked buffer tube contains 1 or 2, 900 µm tight-buffered fibers.
- 3 mm Buffer Tube Diameter
- Thermoplastic Jacket Material
Outdoor Considerations
Loose Tube cables are recommended if interbuilding conduit systems are likely to fill with water.
Adventum Tight Buffer cables are not suitable for aerial-lashed installations.
Plenum flame rating allows for building riser shaft penetration or alongside plenums without having to change cabling.
Applications
Berk-Tek's Adventum Tight Buffer Drop cables are suitable for all passive and active optical network designs requiring high speed voice, video, and data applications, including (but not limited to):
- 10BASE-FL
- 100BASE-SX/100BASE-FX
- ATM 155/ATM 622
- 1000BASE-SX/1000BASE-LX
- Fibre Channel 1.062/2.125
- 10GBASE-SR/SW
- 10GBASE-LX4
Features
- Plenum ratings enable installations to go directly from outside plant through riser shafts and alongside plenums with no transition point requirement.
- High tensile strength, crush resistant and small diameter design enable long pulls in non-dedicated conduits.
- Tight Buffered fibers are ready for direct termination, no fan out kits are needed.
- All dielectric design with Interlocking Armor available.
- Fully water-blocked core using a dry water blocking system.
- Available with new bend-insensitive single-mode fibers
Benefits
- Compact, water blocked, plenum rated, flexible loose tube design with tight buffered fibers
- Can incorporate an optional tracer wire.
- Ruggedly designed for outside plant installation (non-aerial lashed)
- High Tensile Strength provides for greater pulling distances
- Long-term reliability improved over traditional tight buffer premises cables
- Low cable plant maintenance, ease of installation
- Reduced cable diameter, flexible, with easy access to buffer tube and fibers
