Armored Fiber Optics Cable
Application
For long haul networking, building interconnections (Campus LAN), trunk lines, local loop, distribution line or intra-building backbones. Armored loose tube double Jacket/single Armor fiber optic cables are designed to provide high fiber counts with the flexibility and versatility required for most demanding installations, including direct buried. Uses steel tape armoring for maximum crush resistance.
