Fiber Optic Indoor Interlocking Armored Cable is an integral part of the Panduit end-to-end fiber
optic solution, designed to support today's data needs while meeting tomorrow's ever-advancing network requirements.
Opti-Core
®
Fiber Optic Indoor Interlocking Armored Cable is used within buildings to provide high-density connectivity
and ease of installation. 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. Applications include intra-building
backbones, building backbones, and horizontal installations for riser (OFCR), plenum (OFCP), and harsh environments.

10Gig
™
Fiber Optic Indoor 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 fiber counts from 6 to 144 fibers.
