Armored Fiber Optic Cable: Ultimate Protection for Harsh Installation Environments
In environments where physical stress, rodent damage, or environmental exposure are a constant threat—such as direct burial, mining operations, or industrial facilities—a standard Fiber Optic Cable is simply not enough. Our line of Armored Fiber Optic Cables provides the ultimate level of protection, ensuring uninterrupted data transmission and dramatically reducing long-term maintenance costs.
The secret to this exceptional durability lies in the construction of the cable jacket. Our armored cables feature a protective layer, typically a small, flexible stainless steel tube or corrugated steel tape, strategically placed beneath the outer polyethylene (PE) or polyurethane (TPU) jacket. This layer provides superior crush resistance, making the cable impervious to accidental impacts, and acts as a powerful barrier against rodent gnawing—a surprisingly common cause of network outages in outdoor and utility applications. Despite the added strength, we engineer these cables to maintain a degree of flexibility and a manageable bend radius, facilitating installation in trenches, conduits, and aerial deployments. By integrating this mechanical robustness with our high-quality Single-Mode or Multi-Mode fiber cores, our Armored Fiber Optic Cables offer the perfect blend of optical excellence and physical resilience for demanding utility, campus backbone, and FTTA applications.
