Description

Construction

  • 900 µm buffered fibers surrounded by aramid yarns
  • Sheathed using a special, state-of-the-art polymer material
  • Aluminum and Steel interlock armor available
  • OFCP Rated

 

Outdoor Considerations

Black jacketed and water-blocked versions of this plenum cable is available upon request for outdoor installations.  Outdoor versions feature UV and fungus resistant jacketing.

 

Applications

Berk-Tek's tight buffered Interlocking Armor 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

  • Single-mode, multimode, GIGAliteTM and hybrid designs available
  • Available with new bend-optimized single-mode fibers
  • High tensile strength, crush resistant
  • Flexible, small diameter, 900 µm tight buffered construction core
  • Six to 144 count fiber construction plenum designs ideal for horizontal and backbone and installations and along plenums 
  • Also available in low smoke zero halogen design
  • Configurations available suitable for indoor/outdoor installations in conduit, below the frost line

 

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
