Overview
The Blue Tactical Cable is a high-performance, ruggedized fiber optic cable engineered for demanding environments where strength, flexibility, and reliability are critical. Designed for military and broadcast field deployments, this cable features a proprietary-extruded polyurethane outer jacket and specialized reinforcement yarns that ensure optimal durability across a wide range of temperatures and harsh operating conditions.
At its core, this cable utilizes Corning ClearCurve LBL bend-insensitive singlemode fiber. This advanced fiber technology maintains low signal loss even when the cable is subjected to tight bends, providing enhanced application reliability in challenging installations. The cable is fully compliant with industry standards, including TIA/EIA requirements, and exhibits high-performance optical characteristics for G.652D and G.657 A2/B2 applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for permanent outdoor burial?
This cable is a tactical-grade product intended for field deployment and high-durability environments; please refer to the spec sheet for specific burial or direct-exposure ratings.
Does it meet military standards?
Yes, the cable is designed to meet applicable TIA/EIA standards often referenced for military tactical fiber deployments.
What is the benefit of the ClearCurve fiber?
ClearCurve LBL fiber is bend-insensitive, which significantly reduces the risk of signal loss when the cable is coiled, kinked, or managed in high-density tactical environments.
Can I use this with standard singlemode connectors?
Yes, it is compatible with industry-standard singlemode termination procedures.
Is the jacket fire rated?
The cable utilizes a polyurethane jacket; check the technical datasheet for specific fire safety ratings related to indoor vs. outdoor use.
