6 x OM2 Premise Distribution Plenum Indoor/Outdoor Cable

Send link to this page Generate PDF Your Nexans contact on this page
6 x OM2 Premise Distribution Plenum Indoor/Outdoor Cable Berk-Tek's plenum rated Indoor/Outdoor Tight-Buffer cables are designed specifically for LAN/WAN campus and building backbone cabling infrastructure. A fluoropolymer jacket material in this plenum design enables use in harsh environments such as power plants, mines, airports, petro-chemical facilities or anywhere that strong resistance to solvents or hydrocarbons is required. Suitable for Indoor/Outdoor installations, in-conduit, below the frost line.

Description

This fiber optic cable is designed for installation in plenum, riser  and horizontal environments and interbuilding backbone structures.

This design incorporates tight buffered optical fibers within a dry water blocked cable core.  Suitable for operation across wide temperature variations typically addressed by outside plant cables.  No Buffer Tube Fanout kits are required.  Direct termination is enabled.

 

Construction

Each cable utilizes our DryGel water blocking system in the cable core.  Cable design can accommodate from 4-24 tight buffered (900 µm) fibers.  A glass reinforced (GRP) anti-buckling member is centrally located in cables with >4 fibers.  All dielectric.

Interlocking Armor (Armor-Tek) versions are available using aluminum or steel armor.

 

Outdoor Considerations

Loose Tube cables are recommended if interbuilding conduit systems lie above the frost line and are likely to fill with water.

  •  Tight Buffer fiber cables are not suitible for aerial-lashed installations.

 

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

 

Features

  • Flexible, small diameter, 900 µm tight buffered construction
  • High tensile strength and small diameter design
  • 4 to 24 count fiber construction plenum designs ideal for horizontal and backbone installation
  • Single-mode, multimode, and hybrid designs available
  • Also available in low smoke zero halogen design

 

Benefits

  • Cost-saving design, easy to install and terminate
  • Provides for greater pulling distances thus reducing installation time
  • Assurance that cables will meet required specifications for communication networking applications
  • Broad design selection allows for mix and match of fiber components to specific networking applications
  • One cable design meeting all structured cabling network communications applications
