Standards
International : EN 50173; IEC 60332-1-2; IEC 60332-1-3; IEC 60332-2-2; IEC 60332-3-24 Cat.C; IEC 60332-3-25 Cat.D; IEC 61034-2; ISO/IEC 11801National : ANSI/ICEA S-83-596; ANSI/TIA-568-C.3; Telcordia GR-409
Description
Berk-Tek's Premise Distribution LSZH Armor-Tek cable is a riser rated tight buffered design. Armor-Tek Interlock Armor is formed around the LSZH Premises Distribution cable core. A riser rated sheath is then extruded around the interlocking armor.
Construction
900 µm buffered fibers surrounded by aramid yarns. Sheathed using a special, state-of-the-art low smoke zero halogen polymer material.
Outdoor Considerations
Black jacketed and water-blocked core versions of riser cables suitable for Indoor/Outdoor installations in-conduit and below the frost line are available upon request. Outdoor versions feature UV and fungus resistant jacketing.
Applications
Berk-Tek's tight buffered cable is intended for all high speed data applications including:
- 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
- 40/100 GbE
