Description
What it is
This simplex armored round cable protects the fiber with a stainless-steel spiral tube (SUS204) and aramid yarn layer, then finishes with a flame-retardant outer jacket (PVC, LSZH, OFNR, OFNP, LSOH, PE, or TPU). The design delivers high indentation/crush and tensile strength with a small OD for easy routing and field termination.
Where it’s used
- Armored patch cord & pigtail assemblies
- Floor/wall corner runs, trunking, equipment rooms, ODF/patch panels
- FTTH/ODN drops where rodent protection and durability are required
- Mixed indoor environments needing LSZH/OFNR/OFNP jacket grades
Construction highlights
- Tight buffer: 0.6 mm or 0.9 mm (PVC/LSZH)
- Armor: stainless-steel spiral tube (micro-diameter for flexibility)
- Strength: aramid yarn (Kevlar)
- Jacket options: PVC, LSZH/LSOH, OFNR/OFNP, PE, TPU (multiple colors)
- Singlemode primary, multimode options available (OM2/OM3/OM4)
Why it’s practical
- Direct termination to sub-units simplifies installation and maintenance
- Rodent-resistant metal tube avoids fiber damage in harsh builds
- Small bend radius and flexible handling reduce pathway conflicts
- Can be used in runs similar to “electric wire” routing scenarios (observe local code)
