Installation zone RECOMMENDATION

Ideal for installations requiring an extremely rugged and reliable cable design where maximum mechanical and environmental protection are necessary
Easiest cable to install where direct termination of the subcable to a connector and a direct run to panels and equipment are desired
Direct termination to subcable may eliminate the need for patch panels and patch cords and reduce connector loss
900μm buffer eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming installation of fanout kits or pigtail splices, because connectors terminate directly to the subcable
High crush resistance may eliminate the need for innerduct
