Armoured Fibre Optic Cable

25 July 2007

Abstract

Fibre optic cable installations are notoriously difficult. The space taken up by spare fibre can be costly and the additional protection required for standard fibre optic cable outside cabinets is cumbersome, messy and  often renders fibre non-recoverable.

Press Release

BBN International announces the Kaiphone range of armoured cables. With cables spanning environments from indoor to harsh outdoor, underwater and underground there is a solution for most fibre optic cabling challenges.

The following table summarises the benefits of armoured cable in typical datacom situations.

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. Is 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.
