Indoor/Outdoor Riser CL3R (ACRC, HDRC)
Description
Berk-Tek’s Composite Copper/Fiber cables incorporate high bandwidth optical fibers with insulated copper TFFN or THWN conductors. A wide variety of design options are available including; up to eight #12 AWG solid conductors, up to 2 tight buffered fibers (HDRC) or 12 loose tube fibers (ACRC), and interlock armoring. These cables are listed as CMR and CL3R-OF/PLTC-OF. A key application of these cables is to extend the distance that powered devices can be installed from the power source in Power over Ethernet (PoE+) installations. 12 AWG conductors can increase this distance from 328 feet to several thousand feet. The powered device could be an IP camera, a wireless access point, or other building automation device located in an area where an electrical outlet is not readily available.

Description
Construction
Each cable consists of multiple TFFN or THWN copper conductors and multiple fibers cabled together within an outer jacket. Cable design accommodates from 1 to 8 conductors and 1 to 12 fibers.
- Fibers can be tight buffered (HDRC) or in a loose tube (ACRC)
- Aluminum interlock armored cables available
