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

 

Features

  • Low Smoke Zero Halogen rated cable
    • IEC 60332-1-2
    • IEC 60332-1-3
    • IEC 60332-2-2
    • IEC 60332-3-24 Category C
    • IEC 60332-3-25 Category D
    • IEC 61034-2
  • Flexible, small diameter, 900 µm tight buffered construction
  • High tensile strength and small diameter design
  • Six to 48 count fiber construction riser designs ideal for horizontal and backbone installation
  • Single-mode, multimode, and hybrid designs available 

 

Benefits

  • Eliminates the need for conduit or plenum innerduct
  • Signicant 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
