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 SeriesGX-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.
