Send link to this page Generate PDF Your Nexans contact on this page
216 x OM2 Adventum Plenum with Interlock Armor Berk-Tek’s Adventum Armor-Tek™ products consist of indoor/outdoor rated fiber optic loose tube cables encased with an aluminum or steel spirally wrapped armor in an interlocking configuration. The armored cable is then covered with a plenum rated jacket to prevent snags during installation.

Description

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
