Product Details

The Interlock Armored Microarray Breakout cable from Superior Essex is designed for high performance with robust mechanical protection. The premises loose tube design consists of 12-fiber 3 mm microarray interconnect cable subunits, each of which contain twelve 250 micron fibers. The aramid yarns inside the subunit allow the subunit to be crimped directly onto an MTP®/MPO connector. The 3 mm subunits are stranded around a central strength element that is both flexible and robust enough to pass backbone installation requirements. The stranded subunits are held to the strength element core by binder yarns and/or tapes ensuring excellent temperature performance. A RoHS-compliant flexible jacket protects the core while providing fire protection. Finally, the cable is interlock armored with either aluminum (standard) or steel and jacketed. The cable is available with TeraFlex® single mode or laser-optimized 50/125 micron 10G/150 (OM2+), 10G/300 (OM3) or 10G/550 (OM4) multimode fiber types.
