DX-Series Distribution Cables, Riser-Rated & Plenum-Rated
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use -- no need to splice outdoor cable to indoor cable at the building entrance.
- Flame-retardant for indoor installations.
- Fungus-resistant, water-resistant and UV-resistant for outdoor use.
- Can be armored for additional protection in buried and overhead installations.
- Compact design for limited conduit space.
- Smaller, lighter and more economical.
- High strength to weight ratio.
- Flexible, rugged, high-strength construction for long cable pulls.
- Helically stranded cable core for flexibility, survival in difficult pulls, and superior mechanical protection for the optical fibers.
- Lower total installed costs.
- Longer distance runs where size and cable cost are more significant.
- Tight-buffered coating on each optical fiber.
- 2 to 156 fibers, higher fiber counts are available upon request.
BX-Series Breakout Cables, Riser-Rated & Plenum-Rated
- Most rugged and "installer friendly" cable design for Local Area Networks.
- For installations where ease of termination and termination cost are important factors.
- Short and moderate distance links between buildings or within a building, where multiple termination points are needed.
- Core-Locked™ outer jacket design for installation survivability long-term, trouble-free service.
- Subcables are designed for direct termination with standard connectors.
- Helically stranded cable core for flexibility, survival in difficult pulls, and superior mechanical protection for the optical fibers.
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use -- no need to splice outdoor cable to indoor cable at the building entrance.
- Flame-retardant for indoor installations.
- Fungus-resistant, water-resistant and UV-resistant for outdoor use.
- Tight-buffered coating on each optical fiber.
- Elastomeric jacket encases each optical fiber and surrounding aramid strength members to provide a ruggedized subcable.
- 2 to 156 fibers, higher fiber counts are available upon request.
GX-Series Subgrouping Cables, Riser-Rated & Plenum-Rated
- Tight-buffered multifiber design allows subcables to be routed to multiple locations such as wiring racks or wiring closets.
- Multifiber subcables, each similar to the DX-Series Distribution Cable.
- Best design for multimode and single-mode fiber hybrid/composite cables.
- Easy to identify subcables for ease in splicing and routing.
- Helically stranded cable core for flexibility, survival in difficult pulls, and superior mechanical protection for the optical fibers.
- Strongest, most crush-resistant cable available.
- Tight-buffered coating on each optical fiber.
- Core-Locked™ outer jacket surrounds the subcables.
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use -- no need to splice outdoor cable to indoor cable at the building entrance.
- Flame-retardant for indoor installations.
- Fungus-resistant, water-resistant and UV-resistant for outdoor use.
- Subcables of GX-Series Plenum cables are individually plenum-rated and can be UL plenum labeled.
- 12 to 864 fibers in various subgroup cable sizes are available.
AX-Series Assembly Cables, General-Purpose and Special-Purpose Cables
- Resilient and flexible for jumpers, patch cords and pigtails.
- Suitable for general purpose indoor use, such as routing connections in patching systems.
- Short "patch cord" cables ideal for links between electronic equipment and main fiber optic cables.
- Flame-retardant for indoor installations.
- Compatible with all standard fiber optic connectors.
- 1 (simplex) and 2 (duplex) fibers available.
- Tight-buffered coating on each optical fiber.
M-Series Aerial Messenger Cables
- Figure-eight construction for use with standard messenger clamping and support hardware. three options are available:
- Steel (SS) Messenger is a stranded stainless steel messenger wire available for ultimate mechanical and environmental survivability.
- Galvanized Steel (GS) Messenger is a cost-saving option where ultimate durability and survival are not required.
- Dielectric (DS) Messenger is a fiberglass/aramid strength members/epoxy messenger for high strength. This all-dielectric construction is ideal for use near electrical power lines.
- Wide operating temperature range of -55oC to +85oC.
Armored Cables: DX-Series Distribution, BX-Series Breakout and GX-Series Subgrouping Cables
- Cable is suitable for direct burial and aerial applications.
- Corrugated steel tape protects the fiber optic cable from rodents, and provides additional stiffness for aerial lashing, if required.
- The armor is easily removed with an internal aramid strength member ripcord, leaving a flame-retardant inner cable suitable for interior and exterior use. This eliminates the need to splice outdoor cable to indoor cable to mee the National Electrical Code's 50-foot maximum length requirement for outdoor cable used inside buildings.
- Armored jacket is an add-on option which can be applied to most of the riser-rated and plenum-rated cable products.
- Suitable for direct field termination with most standard optical connectors.
Military Tactical Cables: D-Series Distribution Cables
- Crush-resistant and resilient with a thick layer of aramid strength members.
- Round cable design for easy installation and survivability.
- Polyurethane jacketed for abrasion, cut and chemical resistance.
- Operating temperature of -55oC to +85oC.
- 500 micron acrylate primary buffer coating over each optical fiber.
- 900 micron diameter hard elastomeric secondary tight buffer protection on each optical fiber.
- Fiber count from 2 to 24 in a single cable. Call the factory for additional design options.
Military Tactical Cables: B-Series Breakout Cables
- Breakout cable design with an individual color-coded subcable surrounding each optical fiber.
- Crush-resistant and resilient with two separate layers of aramid strength members -- in the subcables for individual single-fiber connector termination, and overall for termination to multiway connector backshells or other housings.
- Round cable design for easy installation and survivability.
- Polyurethane jacketed for abrasion, cut and chemical resistance.
- Operating temperature of -55oC to +85oC.
- 500 micron acrylate primary buffer coating over each optical fiber.
- 900 micron diameter hard elastomeric secondary tight buffer protection on each optical fiber.
- Fiber count from 2 to 24 in a single cable. Call the factory for additional design options.
