Armoured Fiber Optic Patch Cord are manufactured so as to withstand side pressure and repeated bending and are
used in outdoor applications in customer premises, central offices and in harsh environments. Armoured patch cords
are constructed with a stainless steel tube over a standard patch Cord surrounded by a stainless steel mesh with and
outer jacket. The flexible metal tube limits the bending radius, preventing the optical fiber from breaking. This ensures
a safe and durable optical fiber network system. Armoured patch Cords use a Optical Branching Device to protect the
separated tight buffer fibers(for example 12 cores).
Standards Compliance
. IEC 874-14, TIA/EIA-568-B.3 and ISO/IEC 11801, IEC-61754-7, TIA-604-5
. RoHS, REACH & SvHC Compliant
Features
. Available in all fiber types
. Available in standard and custom lengths
. Built with Stainless Steel tube, Suitable for different harsh environments application
. Together with custom connectors, the cable can be both water proof and gas proof and can withstand high temperatures.
. Layouts can be wired much the same way as ordinary electric cable installations.
