Product Details
Tactical multi-mode fiber cable comes as a rugged and lightweight cable jacketed with polyurethane. Polyurethane jacket is abrasive resistant, chemical resistant and cut resistant. This jacketing offers protection against such damages that the cable may be subjected to during installation or when already installed. Its elements are coated with high elastomeric and tight buffer, and it is available in two series namely; distribution series and the breakout series. Distribution series has an aramid strength filler whereas the breakout series has its strength member within the tube of elastomeric jacket on each fiber.
Why go for this Cable?
The aramid strength member in the distribution and breakdown series offers an exceptional strength to the cable, preventing it from crushing.
This type of tactical cable is rugged and light weight. A light weight cable is easy to handle and carry along as compared to heavy weight cables that require excessive effort to lift.
Applications
It is designed to perform in harsh environments applied in outdoor broadcast, portable applications, staging, digital video and audio networking
