Key Features
- Interlocking Aluminum Armor Provides superior mechanical durability while maintaining the flexibility required for indoor cable routing. Protects against crushing, bending, and rodent damage — making it ideal for high-traffic indoor environments including raised floor data centers, conduit runs, and building risers.
- High-Density Fiber Configuration Available in fiber counts up to 864 fibers to support the most demanding high-density cable management requirements. Compatible with OM3, OM4, OM5, and OS2 fiber types — providing a single cable platform for both multimode and singlemode high-speed data transmission applications.
- Gel-Free Waterblocking Technology Eliminates the mess and cleanup time associated with gel-filled cables. The gel-free design provides effective moisture protection for long-term reliability while significantly simplifying cable splicing, termination, and mid-span access operations in the field.
- Fire-Retardant & UV-Resistant Jacket The outer jacket meets strict indoor fire safety standards and provides UV resistance for extended service life in conduit spaces, riser pathways, and plenum-rated environments — ensuring code compliance and long-term jacket integrity across the full installation.
- Corning Cable Compatibility Designed for seamless integration with Corning-based fiber infrastructures. Ensures low-loss connectivity with Corning's SMF-28® Ultra fiber and supports both TIA-568 Type-A and Type-B polarity options for maximum deployment flexibility.
