Description
Standards
International : EN 50173; ISO/IEC 11801National : ANSI/ICEA S-104-696; ANSI/ICEA S-83-596; ANSI/TIA-568.3-D; NFPA 130; Telcordia GR-409
Description
Construction
LSZH loose tube cable constructions (up to 288 optical fibers) with aluminum interlock armor and an overall LSZH riser rated jacket. Steel interlock is available.
Features
- These cables are compliant with the Wire and Cable Requirements of NFPA 130 (2014), section 12.2 Flame Spread and Smoke Release.
- Low Smoke Zero Halogen polymer used for jackets and loose tubes.
- Jacketed armor that remains flexible due to the spiral wrap armoring process
- The armored design allows for an easy one-pull installation into any environment
- Sunlight resistant outer jacket per UL 444 clause 7.22 protects the cable in outside plant installations
- Aluminum or steel interlock armor is available
- Aluminum interlock offers 10 to 13 times the impact resistance over all-dielectric optical cable
- Compact outside diameters when compared to plenum innerduct or conduit
Benefits
- Eliminate the need for conduit or plenum innerduct by installing interlock armor cable, providing a significant cost savings in both materials and labor
- Installation time can be reduced by as much as 60% versus installing conduit or innerduct
- Armor-Tek optical fibers cables accommodate last minute relocations or pathway changes whereas innerduct or conduit is not a flexible alternative
- Armor-Tek cables are not governed by fill ratios because they are UL listed as cable assemblies, allowing higher concentrations of cables in an area than allowed with conduit
- Can be installed in campus environments when used with indoor/outdoor rated cables such as Adventum
- Provides additional protection and security for your fiber backbone due to the ruggedness of the armoring materials
