Installation zone RECOMMENDATION

- Deployable cable that is ideal for use in harsh environments where deployment and retrieval for reuse are required for temporary broadcast networks
Features
- Extremely strong, lightweight, rugged, survivable tight-buffered cables designed for broadcast field use and commercial applications
- Polyurethane jacketed for abrasion, cut, and chemical resistance
- Core-locked® jacket for improved mechanical performance
- Breakout cable design with individual color-coded subcables protecting each optical fiber
- Crush resistant and resilient, with two separate layers or aramid strength members in the subcables for individual single-fiber connector and termination pin, and overall for termination to multiway connector backshells or other housings
- Helically stranded cable core for flexibility, survival in difficult pulls, and excellent mechanical protection for the optical fibers
- Cables have been tested and are in use in field 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
- Round cable design for easy installation and survivability
- Often used with multiway military tactical connectors for maximum connector retention (400lbs.)
- Ideally suited for use with MIL-C-38999 style military connectors; subcables terminate to individual pins, and overall aramid strength member terminates to backshell
- 2.0mm subcables standard
- Tactical Polyurethane (C) outer jacket material is standard. Flame-Retardant Tactical (V) and Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (G) outer jacket materials are available
