Our Steel Armored Fiber Optic Cable features Rodent Resistant Spiral Steel Armor, 12 strands of OS2 9/125um Singlemode Corning® SMF-28® Ultra core, and a black outdoor plenum rated jacket.

This armored cable consists of 0.9mm tight buffered fiber surrounded by an Aramid yarn (similar to Kevlar®) strength member. The core is protected by a spiral-wrapped steel tube that offers an easy installation, rodent protection, and high crush, pressure, and tension resistance during installation and deployment. Outdoor Plenum rated cabling is primarily used for outside plant (OSP) applications typically bridging into the build/plant, it can be Installed in walls, between floors, under data center floors, in plenum air handling ducts, and of course on outside walls.

Common Applications include Fiber To The Home (FTTH) access networks, Telecommunication Networks, CCTV Networks, Data communications Networks, Local Area Networks, and more.
