Node Service Cables Multi-Fiber Trunk Assemblies
In the rapidly evolving field of fiber optic communications, establishing reliable connections between transport cables and processing equipment is essential. iFiber Optix’s Node Service Cables Multi-Fiber Trunk Assemblies are meticulously designed to simplify these connections, delivering optimal performance and durability across a wide range of network environments.
Built on a non‑armored, all‑dielectric UniFlex™ design, these singlemode node service trunks provide a flexible, high‑strength solution for linking fiber transport cables to active equipment in telecommunications, data center, CATV, and industrial applications — factory pre‑terminated and 100% tested for trouble‑free deployment.
Node Service Cable Multi‑Fiber Trunk Assembly
iFiber Optix Node Service Cable Assemblies are constructed with high‑quality OS2 singlemode fibers in a polyurethane riser‑rated indoor/outdoor loose‑tube cable, reinforced with aramid yarn for exceptional durability. The all‑dielectric UniFlex™ construction eliminates movement of internal components, delivering stable performance and reliable connectivity between field transport cables and node electronics.
