Corning MIC® interlocking armored riser cables are designed for use in intrabuilding backbone and horizontal installations. They use individually jacketed 900 µm buffered fibers enabling easy, consistent stripping and facilitating termination. The fibers are grouped into 6-, 12-, or 24-fiber jacketed subunits and surrounded by a dielectric central member. The core is protected by a flexible, spirally wrapped, aluminum interlocking armor that offers easy, one-step installation and up to six times the crush protection of non-interlocking armored cables. With a flame-retardant outer jacket, this cable is particularly useful for heavy traffic or more challenging mechanical exposure conditions and applications requiring extra rugged cables.

Features And Benefits:
• Flexible, interlocking armor design - Six times crush protection
• Buffered fibers - Easy, consistent stripping
