AX-Series Assembly Cables
    
Features and Applications
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.

Compatable with all standard fiber optic connectors.

High performance tight-buffer coating on each optical fiber for environmental and mechanical protection.
 
Outer cable jacket color code per TIA-598-A:
Multimode 62.5/125 - Gray
Single-Mode - Yellow
Custom jacket colors are available to match connectors. Private labeling on the cable outer jacket is also available.
1 (simplex) and 2 (duplex) fibers available.
