Fiber Optic Indoor/Outdoor Interlocking
Armored Cable provides UV resistance, water-blocking, high density and
easy installation in transitional aerial and duct applications and entrance
facilities. Interlocking aluminum armor eliminates the need for inner duct or
conduit to provide a smaller crush resistant pathway for improved design
flexibility and lower installed cost. Opti-Core

Fiber Optic Indoor/Outdoor
Interlocking Armored Cable is tested in accordance with Telcordia GR-20,
Issue 2, GR-409 and EIA/TIA-455 series FOTPs for fiber optic cables.

10Gig™ Fiber Optic Indoor/Outdoor Interlocking Armored Cable
features the highest quality OM3 and OM4 laser optimized fiber to support
10 Gb/s applications while maintaining compatibility with existing 50μm
multimode systems. RoHS compliant singlemode and multimode cable is
available in 6 and 12-fiber counts 6 in as a “central loose tube” design and in
24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96 and 144-fiber counts in a “stranded loose tube” design.
For use indoors or outdoors.
Central loose tube constructions. Interlocking aluminum armor eliminates the need for inner duct or conduit.
