Description
Standards
International : EN 50173; ISO/IEC 11801Description
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 core water-blocked cables from 6 to 24 fibers are available upon request for outdoor installations. Outdoor versions feature UV and fungus resistant jacketing.
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
- Compliant to NFPA 130 (2010)
