Built for Your Application
This product line offers outdoor-rated, direct burial fiber assemblies that are ideal for permanent fiber optic network installations in environments that demand both durability and reliability. Whether you're looking for a solution for campus networks, industrial environments, or telecom infrastructure, these assemblies provide the rugged construction needed to ensure your network remains operational, even in the harshest conditions.
The direct burial-rated jacket eliminates the need for additional conduit, reducing installation costs and time. This feature is especially beneficial in outdoor settings where running conduit would be labor-intensive and costly. Additionally, the armored design offers protection against rodent damage, which is a major concern in buried installations.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Corning ALTOS® or CommScope LazrSPEED® 300 Optical Fiber: These fibers ensure 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-SR) performance for high-speed network connectivity, supporting high-bandwidth applications.
-
Heavy-Duty Armored Jacket: The armored construction with corrugated steel tubing provides crush resistance, protecting the cable from physical damage and rodent interference.
-
Direct Burial Rating: Suitable for direct burial without the need for additional conduit, reducing both installation time and cost.
-
Waterproof and UV-Resistant: The PE jacket offers superior UV and water resistance, ensuring long-term reliability in exposed outdoor environments.
-
Water-Blocking Technology: The use of swellable tape around the fibers prevents water infiltration, further enhancing the durability of the assembly in wet conditions.
-
Factory-Terminated for Quick Installation: Each assembly comes factory-terminated, ensuring low insertion loss and fast deployment for your outdoor fiber network.
Available Configurations for These Products
These outdoor armored fiber optic assemblies are available in a range of configurations:
-
Connector Types: These assemblies come with LC connectors (or can be customized with other connector types), providing compatibility with a variety of networking equipment like SFP or QSFP+ transceivers.
-
Lead and Back-End Options: The cables are factory-terminated with connectors at both ends, offering a ready-to-install solution. These assemblies are designed for straight-through connections, but customization may be possible with different terminations or adapter configurations.
