Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable require a breakout kit?
No, the 900µm tight-buffered design allows for direct termination of connectors or direct fusion splicing.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
This specific cable is Riser-rated for indoor use. Consult with an engineer if outdoor-rated, moisture-resistant protection is required.
What is the purpose of the aluminum interlocking armor?
The armor provides a layer of physical protection against crushing and external mechanical forces in exposed areas.
How are the fibers organized in a 24-fiber count?
For fiber counts over 12, the fibers are organized into subunits of 12 fibers each.
Is this compatible with standard OM1 connectors?
Yes, this cable is designed for use with standard 62.5µm multimode fiber connectors.
