Without protection, rodents, construction work, the weight of multiple cables and other factors can all cause damage, which can prevent your network from functioning.
Armoured fiber patch cable retains all the features of standard fiber cable but is much stronger due to its extra layers of ‘armour’. Due to its ruggedness and superior crush resistance, it’s the ideal solution for harsh installation conditions that require exceptional durability.
BENEFITS OF INSTALLING ARMOURED FIBER PATCH CABLE
Installing armoured fiber patch cable has several benefits, including:
- Virtually unbreakable: immune to twisting, kinking and crushing
- Safe & secure: can withstand a reasonable amount of weight
- Rodent & weather resistant
- Cost effective: just slightly more than standard fiber cable
- Flexible and lightweight: easy to work with and to carry
- Easy to install: unique design greatly reduces installation difficulties
- Easy to maintain: risk of downtime is lessened when cable damage occurs
- Customizable: custom cable lengths are optional
WHAT DIFFERENTIATES ARMOURED FIBER PATCH CABLE FROM REGULAR FIBER CABLE?
Traditional fiber cable is unprotected whereas armoured fiber patch cable boasts a stainless steel tube, reinforced with Kevlar and an additional steel braided layer with an outer jacket. This makes it better for applications where patching and re-patching are done on a consistent basis. It can withstand more weight and is available in Singlemode or Multimode 10GIG 50 micron as well as 62.5 with most connector configurations.
