What Is Armored Fiber Optic Cable?
Armored fiber optic cable is designed for harsh conditions, offering extra protection without compromising flexibility or functionality in fiber networks. Two types exist based on outer jacket construction: interlocking and corrugated.
Interlocking armored fiber uses an aluminum armor layer wrapped helically around fiber strands. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, it offers superior ruggedness and crush resistance during direct burial, while maintaining data integrity in harsh environments.
Corrugated armored fiber uses coated steel tape folded around inner cable portions. Used for indoor and outdoor applications, it protects against rodents and environmental abrasion, ideal for outdoor installations and rodent-prone areas like basements.
