A 12-fiber, gel-filled, dielectric-armored OM3 multimode fiber-optic cable for indoor and outdoor installation.
This universal single-tube cable is designed for indoor and outdoor deployment in ducts, conduits, vertical risers and horizontal runs. Twelve ClearCurve® OM3 50/125 µm fibers sit in a gel-filled 3.0 mm central tube, surrounded by laminated water-swellable glass-yarn armoring that blocks water along the cable and improves rodent resistance without any metal, under a black flame-retardant, non-corrosive, low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH/FRNC) jacket. The cable has a 6.6 mm outer diameter, 1500 N/10 cm crush resistance, a maximum installation tensile strength of 1000 N and CPR class Dca-s2,d2,a1. Maximum attenuation is 2.8 dB/km at 850 nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300 nm, with 2000 MHz·km effective modal bandwidth supporting 10 GbE up to 300 m.
