Indoor/Outdoor All-Dielectric Cable with tight buffered fibres is an integral part of the Panduit end-to-end fibre optic solution,
designed to support today’s data needs while meeting tomorrow’s ever-advancing network requirements. This cable provides a water and
moisture resistant outer jacket, high density, and easy installation in transitional aerial and duct applications and entrance facilities. 900μm +/-
50μm tight buffered fibres permit easy connectorization permit. Opti-Core
™
Fibre Optic Indoor/Outdoor All-Dielectric Cables (2 to 24 fibres) with
tight buffered fibres have a non-subunitized design that surrounds the using glass yarn strength members, providing improved rodent
protection- effective in many cases. Cables with greater than 24 fibres feature a sub-unit design that simplifies sub-unit and fibre identification,
surrounds the fibre inside sub-units with aramid yarn, provides easy access and routing of the fibres, and increases cable durability using a
dielectric central strength member. Sub-units made of thin LSZH sheath in the same colours as the outer sheath, marked with unit
numbers 1 through 6. Unit diameter approximately 3.5mm. Opti-Core
™
Fibre Optic Indoor/Outdoor Riser (OFNR) Rated All-Dielectric Cable
with tight buffered fibres tested is in accordance with Telcordia GR-20, Issue 2, GR-409 and with relevant EIA/TIA-455 series FOTPs for fibre
optic cable. Opti-Core
™
Fibre Optic Indoor/Outdoor Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Rated All-Dielectric Cable with tight buffered fibres
meets the IEC 60794-1 standard. All standard RoHS compliant multimode and singlemode cable is available in 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 fibre
counts as a “non-subunitized” design.
application
Can be used for indoor and outdoor applications including LAN and WAN backbones, backbones in data centers, and routing
between telecommunications rooms. The cable is suited for installation in ducts and on trays. Cable features a UV stabilized
water and moisture resistant outer jacket.
