CL3R-OF Composite Fiber Cable

Send link to this page print Your Nexans contact on this page
CL3R-OF Composite Fiber Cable Berk-Tek’s Composite Copper/Fiber cables incorporate high bandwidth optical fibers with insulated stranded copper TFFN or THWN conductors. A wide variety of design options are available including; up to 7 conductors ranging from #12 AWG to #18 AWG, up to 12 tight buffered fibers or 24 loose tube fibers, and interlock armoring. These cables are listed as CL3R-OF/PLTC-OF. A key application of these cables is to extend the distance that powered devices can be installed from the power source in Power over Ethernet (PoE+) installations. Proper conductor size selection can increase this distance from 328 feet to several thousand feet. The powered device could be an IP camera, a wireless access point, or other building automation device located in an area where an electrical outlet is not readily available.
Standards
International  EN 50173; ISO/IEC 11801
National  ANSI/ICEA S-104-696; ANSI/TIA-568-C.3; Telcordia GR-409; UL 13
Description

 

Construction

Each cable consists of multiple TFFN or THWN copper conductors and multiple fibers cabled together within an outer jacket. Cable design accommodates from 2 to 7 conductors and 2 to 24 fibers.

  • Fibers can be tight buffered or in a loose tube
  • Cable is dry-waterblocked for outdoor installations
  • Aluminum (standard) or steel interlock armored cables available

 

Applications

Berk-Tek’s Composite cables are suitable for all power limited applications where optical fibers are needed.  Specific applications include (but not limited to):

  • Power over Ethernet (PoE+) length extension 
  • Combining control and communication in industrial pathways
  • Common pathway for fiber backbone and Class 3 power supply
  • 10BASE-FL
  • 100BASE-SX/100BASE-FX

 

Features

  • Multimode, Single-mode, and GIGAliteTM fibers
  • CL3R-OF, wet and dry rated
  • Aluminum or steel interlock armored designs available
  • Indoor/Outdoor dry water-blocked designs available

 

Benefits

  • Enables PoE+ equipment to be located more than 100 meters from the switch
  • Cost savings versus installation of a new electrical outlet
  • CL3R-OF/PLTC-OF allows cable to be installed in communication pathways
  • Ease of installation
  • Broad design selection allows for mix and match of copper and fiber components to specific networking applications
  • Armor option adds crush resistance and protection from rodent attacks
