Description

Fiber Optic Tactical Cables are vigorously tested to military standards to withstand extreme temperatures, chemicals, impact and stressed flexiblility.  As a result, Fiber Optical Tactical Cables allow you to go in to the most unforgiving enviroments with safety and reliability.

 

 Construction

  • 900 micron tight buffered fibers, surrounded by aramid yarns
  • Cable design accomodates 1-24 fibers
  • Crush-resistant, durable jacket offering superior flexibility in cold temperatures
  • Heavy duty and low smoke zero halogen designs available

 

 

Applications

  • Excellent for field deployable/retrievable applications such as news/sports coverage
  • Petrochemical, heavy industrial, mining, and other harsh environments
  • Military, law enforcement and tactical security applications
  • Commercial security and sensor applications

 

Benefits

  • Flexibility allows for simple field deployment and redeployment
  • Field repairs are supported due to tight-buffered fibers
  • Rugged polyurethane sheath designed for harsh environments
  • Compact size and lightweight design
