- Deployable cable that is ideal for use in harsh environments where deployment and retrieval for reuse are required
Applications
- Deployable cable that is ideal for use in harsh environments where deployment and retrieval for reuse are required
Features
- Extremely strong, lightweight, rugged, survivable tight-buffered cables are designed for broadcast field use and commercial applications
- Compact, round cable design for ease of transportation and deployment
- Core-locked® jacket for improved mechanical performance
- Designed for use in adverse environments where reduced size and weight are important
- Helically stranded cable core for flexibility, survival in difficult pulls, and exceptional mechanical protection for the optical fibers
- Cables have been tested and are in use in broadcast data communications applications worldwide
- Can be used outdoors for temporary deployment directly on the ground in all terrains, including severe environments
- Suitable for industrial, mining and petrochemical environments; chemical resistant
- Crush resistant and resilient with a thick layer of aramid strength members
- Polyurethane jacketed for abrasion, cut and chemical resistance
- Most commonly used with ruggedized multiway military tactical field connectors, for maximum connector retention (400lbs.)
- Tactical Polyurethane (C) outer jacket materials is standard; Flame-Retardant Tactical (V) and Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (G) outer jacket materials are available
OCC PROVIDED OPTIONS
- Broadcast cables pre-spooled on deployable reels for a ready-to-use product
- Broadcast cables can be pre-terminated with single-fiber or ruggedized multichannel connectors upon request
