| Arial Cable - Dielectric Messenger |
|
Features and Applications
- Figure-eight construction for use with standard messenger clamping and support hardware. Two options are available: (1) Galvanized Steel (GS) Messenger is a cost-saving option where ultimate durability and survival are not required (2) Dielectric Strength Member (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 and in areas of frequent lightning.
- Ideal for new installations. The figure-eight messenger cable reduces installation time and cost by approximately 50% compared to separate installation of a messenger wire and the lashing of the cable to the messenger.
- Wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +85°C
- Water-blocked MX-Series Figure-Eight Messenger Cables contain super-absorbent-polymer coated yarn that swells upon exposure to water

| Indoor/Outdoor Tight Buffered |
|
Features and Applications
-
Used in trunking, LAN and distribution applications where small size, lightweight, and versatile installation capability are required
-
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
-
Cable can be armored for additional protection in direct burial and aerial installations
-
Highest specific strength-to-weight ratio and compact cable design for limited conduit space and tight bends in long cable pulls
-
Helically stranded cable core for flexibility, survival in difficult pulls, and mechanical protection for the optical fibers
-
Lower total installed costs
-
Economical for longer distance runs where size and cable cost are more significant
-
High performance tight-buffered coating on each optical fiber for environmental and mechanical protection
-
2 to 144 fibers without subgrouping for the most size efficient tightbuffered fiber optic cable available. Higher fiber counts are available upon request.
-
Water-blocked D-Series and DX-Series Cables contain super-absorbent-polymer coated yarn that swells upon exposure to water
|
| Breakout Cable |
|
Features and Applications
- Most rugged and "installer friendly" cable design for Local Area Networks
- For installations where ease of termination and termination costs 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 and use in long, vertical installations
- Subcables are designed for direct termination with standard connectors
- Cable ideal for direct pulling with wire mesh grips
- Helically stranded cable core for flexibility, survival in difficult pulls, and 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
- High performance tight-buffered coating on each optical fiber for environmental and mechanical protection
- Elastomeric jacket encases each optical fiber and surrounding aramid strength members to provide a ruggedized subcable
- 2 to 108 fibers, higher fiber counts are available upon request
- Water-blocked B-Series and BX-Series Cables contain super-absorbent-polymer coated yarn that swells upon exposure to water
|
| Hybrid Cable |
|
Features and Applications
- Hybrid cables are for applications requiring both multimode and single-mode optical fibers within one jacket
- Hybrid cables can be UL rated for either riser or plenum environments
- Many other cable types and fiber counts are available
|
| Zero Halogen Cable |
|
Features and Applications
- LSZH (Low-Smoke/Zero Halogen)
- Meets low-smoke, low-toxicity standards
- Round cable construction for easy handling and termination, and includes a ripcord for easy outer cable jacket removal
- Indoor/outdoor cable jacket is free of halogens
- Essentially similar to the cable design of the DX-Series Distribution, BX-Series Breakout, and AX-Series Assembly riser-rated cables. Fiber count range is 2-40 fibers for the Distribution and Breakout cables, and 1-2 fibers for the Assembly Cables.
- The low-smoke, zero halogen outer cable jacket material meets the requirements of NES 713 (toxicity index), NES 711 (smoke index), and MIL-C-24643 (acid gas test).
- Available UL-listed Riser-rated OFNR. Cables meet NEC sections 770-51 (b) and 770-53 (b) for use in vertical runs in building riser shafts or from floor to floor.
- Suitable for indoor/outdoor confined spaces including:
- Building risers
- Cable trays
- Central offices
- Mass-transit rail systems
- Nuclear plants
- Oil refineries
- Petrochemical facilities
- Ships
- Underground subway stations and tunnels
- -40°C to +85°C operating temperature
