Armored Multimode Fiber Optic

Page Content

Armored multimode fiber optic cables are designed to protect multimode fibers from physical damage, environmental hazards, and rodent interference while supporting high-speed data transmission.

Construction and Features

Armored multimode fiber optic cables typically consist of multimode fibers (OM3 or OM4, 50/125 µm) housed in a loose tube or tight-buffered configuration. The fibers are surrounded by strength members such as aramid yarn and protected by metallic armor, usually corrugated steel or interlocking aluminum, which provides mechanical protection and tensile strength. Additional layers, such as water-blocking compounds and polyethylene (HDPE) sheaths, enhance moisture resistance and durability for outdoor installations . These cables are available in plenum, riser, and general-purpose jackets, with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) options for indoor safety. The armored design ensures protection against rodents, crushing, and environmental stress, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications .

Applications

Armored multimode fiber optic cables are widely used in:

  • Local Area Networks (LAN) and Wide Area Networks (WAN)
  • Backbone cabling for high-speed data transmission
  • CCTV and IP camera systems
  • Outdoor installations requiring direct burial or exposure to harsh conditions
  • Multi-story buildings where mechanical protection is needed between floors

Advantages

  • Enhanced durability: Protects fibers from physical damage and environmental hazards.
  • Rodent resistance: Armor prevents chewing and intrusion.
  • High-speed performance: Supports 10G, 40G, and 100G data rates with OM3/OM4 fibers.
  • Versatility: Suitable for indoor, outdoor, and direct burial applications.
  • Fire safety: LSZH and plenum-rated jackets reduce smoke and toxic gas in case of fire .

Technical Specifications

  • Fiber type: Multimode OM3 or OM4, 50/125 µm
  • Core count: Typically 2, 4, 6, or more cores
  • Mode field diameter: ~9.3 µm
  • Cladding diameter: 125 µm
  • Cutoff wavelength: <1260 nm
  • Armor: Corrugated steel or interlocking aluminum
  • Sheath: HDPE or LSZH for outdoor/indoor use
  • Tensile strength: Reinforced with steel wires and aramid yarn Armored multimode fiber optic cables provide a robust, reliable solution for high-performance networking in environments where standard fiber cables may be vulnerable to damage or environmental stress.
