Built for Your Application

These Singlemode Direct Burial Armored Assemblies are engineered to meet the specific needs of outdoor environments. With their rugged construction and heavy-duty polyethylene jacket, they are ideal for installations that require direct burial in trenches, exposure to outdoor elements, or placement along guy wires. This makes them the perfect choice for campus backbones, headend terminations to fiber backbones, and intra-building backbones, as well as for data, video, and voice applications. Additionally, they offer superior protection against environmental hazards, making them ideal for applications in areas with high rodent activity or potential physical stress.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Durability: The corrugated steel tubing and water-blocking swellable tape surrounding the fiber optic strands offer exceptional protection from crushing, rodent damage, and moisture ingress.

  • Outdoor Protection: The UV-resistant polyethylene (PE) jacket ensures that the assembly can withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight, while also being water-resistant for outdoor applications.

  • Easy Installation: Pre-terminated for quick and efficient deployment, reducing the need for on-site splicing and minimizing installation time.

  • Highly Versatile: Perfect for direct burial, overhead lashed applications, and installations secured to permanent outdoor structures.

  • Cost-Effective: When compared to standard indoor/outdoor distribution cable that needs to be run inside conduit, this option saves money on additional materials and labor costs associated with pulling cables through conduit.

Available Configurations for These Products

Our Singlemode Direct Burial Armored Assemblies are available in various configurations to suit your project’s specific needs.

  • Strand Count: Available from 1 strand up to 288 strands, offering flexibility for different network sizes and requirements.

  • Connector Options: These assemblies are terminated with standard LC connectors, providing compatibility with most equipment and networking setups.

  • Lead and Back-End Connectors: These assemblies come pre-terminated, meaning both the lead and back-end connectors are included and ready to connect directly to your devices.

  • Lengths: custom lengths range from 10 feet up to 5000 feet, providing the ideal solution for projects of any size. Custom lengths are also available upon request.

  • Pulling Eye Option: A pulling eye can be added to facilitate the ease of installation, especially for long-distance installations.

Common Uses for Singlemode Direct Burial Armored Assemblies

These assemblies are specifically designed for use in outdoor environments where direct burial and protection against physical damage are critical. Common applications include:

  • Campus Backbones: Installing a robust and reliable fiber network across a large campus.

  • Headend Terminations: For connecting main networking equipment to a fiber backbone.

  • Intra-Building Networks: For connecting different buildings within a campus or complex using a secure, permanent fiber optic network.

  • Long-Distance Outdoor Installations: For installations where fiber optic cable needs to be buried underground or installed overhead across long distances.
