Product Details

The Superior Essex Dry Block, Sunlight Resistant Indoor/Outdoor Plenum cable is designed to survive the toughest installation and environmental conditions. Not only does the cable exceed the rigorous Indoor/Outdoor plenum cable performance requirements of ICEA 696, but its proprietary thermoplastic jacket makes it resistant to mechanical abrasion, chemicals, oil and sunlight. The cable core consists of 2 through 24 fibers for the single unit and, for the multi-unit, 3 to 6 subunits of 6 or 12 fibers each. GRP and aramid yarn dielectric strength elements give the cable both strength and flexibility and the core is fully water-blocking using dry SAP technology. The cable is available in TeraFlex® Bend Resistant optical fiber types, including both single mode, 62.5, and OM3/4 multimode fiber.
