Standard vs Armoured Cable Comparison
|
Standard Optical Fibre Cable |
Armoured Cable |
|
Requires protection from over bending and
wear normally in the form of corrugated tubes which are bulky
and hard to route neatly. |
Self protecting. |
| Spare length normally has to be
accommodated in the cabinet for protection. |
Spare length can be left outside the cabinet e.g. in floor
spaces. |
|
Wear and over bending can degrade transmission quality and
security. |
Resists both these effects. |
|
Is not suitable for outside deployment and can be affected
by moisture, rodents, natural erosion and being stepped on. |
Resists all these effects. |
|
Is hard to recover without damage from corrugated tubes
especially if there are many bends or many cables. |
Does not need corrugated tubes. |

Armoured
Patch Cords
The armoured patch cord is suited to harsh environments where cable
protection is needed. Features include:
- Micro stainless steel tube
- High resistance to tensile pressure
- Reduce damage from twisting
- Rugged and long lasting optical link
- Reduce maintenance needs
Simplex Armoured Patch Cord
Duplex Armoured Patch Cord

Armoured coupler connection
has applications in any optical network where a coupling or splitting
optical signals is required.
- Low excess loss
- low PDL
- Good uniformity

Armoured dispatch cable is ideal for situations where an
temporary communications link is required in a harsh
environment. Applications include:
- Live Broadcasting
- Defence communications
- Testing in harsh environment
- Engineering salvage
- Temporary network
Dispatch Cable
|
 |
This armoured flexible cable can be used for many applications where
extra protection is needed:
- Broadcasting
- Industrial and building networks
- Defence Communications
- MAN's
- LAN's
- Power control systems
Flexible Armoured Cable
|
 |
This underwater cable has several layers of protection to
reduce breaks from twisting and tensile pressure. The cable
maintains a small bending radius allowing for flexible
applications. The layers include:
- Optical fibre
- PE sheath (water proof)
- Stainless steel flexi tube
- Kevlar layer
- stainless steel braiding
- PE outer jacket
