Tight Buffer Breakout PVC/LSZH Jacketed Cable

Application:
Breakout Cable is designed for routing to different locations and direct termination of fibers in the field. The cable is mostly suitable for pre-terminated cable assemblies.
Description: Construction:

The cable contains 2 to 36 fibers which are individually buffered tight or semi-tight construction.  Each fiber is individually protected in a mini cable. Aramid yarn will be applied either inside the mini cable or within the inner jacket of the cable. The color coded mini cable may be stranded round a central strength member which can be either FRP or flexible all-dielectric. Outer Jacket may be PVC or LSZH.

Features:

  • Most rugged and "user friendly" cable design for Local Area Networks
  • For installations where ease of termination and termination costs are important factors
  • Short and moderate distance links between buildings or within a building, where multiple termination points are needed
  • Breakout cables are designed for direct termination with standard connectors
  • Cable ideal for direct pulling with wire mesh grips
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use -- no need to for splicing at the building entrance
  • Flame-retardant or LSZH version for indoor installations
  • Fungus-resistant, water-resistant, and UV-resistant for outdoor use
  • High quality tight-buffered coating on each fiber for environmental and mechanical protection
