The ARMM Series cables are intended for vertical and horizontal distribution in commercial buildings and meet Category 3 electrical specifications. This includes all applications except those in plenums. These cables have a fire-retardant PVC jacket and have been listed as CMR rated, in accordance with the National Electrical Code. ARMM cables are color coded to match standard Outside Plant (OSP) cable designs. The cable consists of solid soft bare copper that’s insulated with foam polyethylene and a skin of PVC. Cores through 900-pair are color coded to match the standard PIC color code. Cables 1,200-pair and larger have a “Mirror Image” color code. Spare pairs are offered in cables of 1,200-pair and larger. An alvyn sheath is applied overall. The alvyn sheath consists of a 8 mil aluminum tape applied longitudinally and bonded to a gray PVC outer jacket.
