FAQ
What makes interlocking armored fiber different from regular fiber optic cables?
Interlocking armored fiber cables have an additional layer of spirally-wrapped aluminum armor that provides crush resistance and protection from rodent damage, making them ideal for harsh environments.
Can this cable be used for outdoor installations?
Yes, this cable is rated for both indoor and outdoor use. It has a UV-resistant jacket and is water-blocking, making it suitable for direct exposure to the elements.
What is a plenum-rated fiber optic cable?
A plenum-rated cable meets fire safety standards for use in plenum spaces (areas used for air circulation in buildings). It has low-smoke and non-toxic characteristics, ensuring safety in the event of a fire.
How do I install this cable?
This cable can be installed using standard fiber optic termination methods. For easier installation, pulling eyes are available to help guide the cable through tight spaces or over long distances.
