Features and Applications

- Cable is suitable for direct burial and aerial applications.
- Corrugated steel tape (CST) protects the fiber optic cable from rodents, and provides additional stiffness for aerial lashing, if required.
- The armor is easily removed with an internal aramid strength member ripcord, leaving a flame-retardant inner cable suitable for interior and exterior use. This eliminates the need to splice outdoor cable to indoor cable to meet the National Electrical Code's 50-foot maximum length requirement for outdoor cable used inside buildings.
- Armored jacket is an add-on option which can be applied to most of the riser-rated and plenum-rated cable products.
- Suitable for direct field termination with most standard optical connectors.
- Optional all dielectric fiberglass yarn armor (FRP) available for rodent protection where dielectric properties, lightweight and flexibility are primary requirements of the cable. Benefits:
(1) FRP provides an effective deterrent to damage caused by small non-burrowing rodents.
(2) FRP is ideal for use where cable is exposed in subterranean tunnels, ducts and surface installations.
