Heavy Duty Breakout Plenum Cables
Description
Berk-Tek’s Heavy Duty Breakout cables are designed for installation in horizontal, industrial or other harsh environments where additional strength and fiber protection is required. Heavy Duty Breakout cables incorporate 900 um tight buffered single-fiber aramid-filled subunits. The standard subunit diameter is 2.0 mm. Additional subunit diameters, including 1.6 mm and 2.5 mm are available. Other designs options include interlock armoring and dry water-blocking. These cables are tested to the mechanical and environmental requirements of Telcordia GR-409 and ANSI/ICEA S-83-596. Berk-Tek’s Heavy Duty Breakout cables are available in Multimode, Single-mode, and GIGAlite fibers.
