Fiber Optic Cables

	PRODUCT SHOWCASE Fiber Optic Cables The use of fiber optic cable offers options in communications transmission mediums. Fiber optics make a smaller, lighter weight cable with exceptional mechanical flexibility; a cable secure from electro-magnetic interference capable of wider Broadband transmission over remarkably expanded distances with the guarantee of long term upgrade potential. Fiber optic cables are available for installation everywhere copper cables could go: underground, directly buried, with or without armoring in conduit in environmentally hostile settings; cold, wet, heat, acid, saline aerial installations, lashed or self-supported interior duct work, risers, ceilings, plenums, closets Return to Products List Return to Top
	Indoor Fiber Optic Multimode and Single Mode Simplex /Duplex Cables Ideal for patch cord/pigtail applications. Available in both riser and plenum versions, in bulk lengths, or as pre-cut/pre-terminated assemblies. Riser Rated Feature compact, flexible packaging for a wide variety of indoor applications. Tight-buffered multiple application cables are ideal for premise and campus distribution applications, available with up to 156 fibers. Riser Rated Breakout Cables Specifically designed for flame retardant/riser requirements. Feature breakout style packaging for building applications requiring many single-channel terminations. Each flame-retardant breakout is color-coded for easy identification. The cable's flexibility and tensile strength allows for easy pulling into crowded, hard-to-reach areas. Plenum Cables Feature compact, flexible packaging for a variety of premise and campus applications. Tight-buffered cables are suitable for intra-building point-to-point and distribution runs, available with up to 72 fibers. Small diameter and flexibility provide for easy installation in crowded, difficult-to-access areas. Cables with more than 12 fibers are bundled into subgroups protected with their own flame retardant jackets. This "cable-within-a-cable" design allows for easy identification and cable routing. Plenum Breakout Cables For plenum applications requiring many single-channel terminations, this breakout design offers convenience and the protection of individual fibers. Each fiber is individually strengthened and jacketed for direct connectivity. Ideal for indoor plenum and cable tray applications. RLT Series Riser Indoor/Outdoor Loose Tube Cables Designed for installation both outdoors and indoors in areas required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) to be riser rated Type OFNR. These cables are loose tube, gel-filled constructions for excellent resistance to moisture. Available with single mode or multimode fibers with up to a maximum of 72 fibers. Because the outdoor cables are riser rated they eliminate the need for a separate point of demarcation, i.e. splicing to a riser rated cable within 50 feet of the point where the outdoor cable enters the building as required by the NEC.
