Silicon Valley, CA, USA
Overview
This 12-fiber indoor/outdoor distribution cable is designed for high-performance data communication applications. Featuring 50µm ClearCurve OM2 multimode fiber, this cable provides optimized performance for enterprise networks, data centers, and campus backbones. Its robust construction makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments where moisture and durability are considerations.
The cable utilizes 900µm tight-buffered fibers, allowing for direct termination of connectors without the need for additional breakout kits, which significantly simplifies installation and reduces costs. The water-blocking aramid yarn provides essential tensile strength and protection against moisture, while the thick, UV-resistant black jacket ensures longevity in demanding conditions. This cable is rated for riser applications.
