Cable
is suitable for direct burial and aerial applications.
Corrugated steel tape (CST) 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 meet 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.
Optional all dielectric fiberglass yarn armor (FRP) available for rodent protection where dielectric properties, lightweight and flexibility are primary requirements of the cable. Benefits:
(1) FRP provides an effective deterrent to damage caused by small non-burrowing rodents.
(2) FRP is ideal for use where cable is exposed in subterranean tunnels, ducts and surface installations.
