Description

Berk-Tek's tight buffered cable is available with standard multimode, single-mode and GIGAliteTM fibers.

 

Construction

900 µm buffered fibers surrounded by aramid yarns. Sheathed using a special, state-of-the-art polymer material.

All dielectric.

 

Outdoor Considerations

Black jacketed and water-blocked versions of both plenum and riser cables available upon request for outdoor installations.  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

 

Features

  • Flexible, small diameter, 900 µm tight buffered construction
  • High tensile strength and small diameter design
  • Six to 144 count fiber construction riser designs ideal for horizontal and backbone installation
  • Single-mode, multimode, and hybrid designs available
  • Also available in low smoke zero halogen design
  • Water blocked indoor/outdoor versions, suitable for installations in-conduit below the frost line, are available

 

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
