B-Series Miltary Tactical Cable profileTactical Fiber Cables

Features and Applications

Tactical fiber cables being used by the military for communications applications.
  • Tactical fiber cables are extremely strong, lightweight, rugged, survivable tight-buffered cables designed for military tactical field use and commercial applications
  • Distribution or breakout cable design.
  • Crush-resistant and resilient.
  • Helically stranded cable core for flexibility, survival in difficult pulls, and exceptional mechanical protection for the optical fibers.
  • Tactical fiber cables have been tested and are in use in military data communications applications worldwide Excellent for use in deployment/retrieval applications.
  • Excellent for use in deployment/retrieval applications
  • Can be used outdoors on the ground in all terrain, including severe environments.
  • Suitable for manufacturing, mining and petrochemical environments and chemical resistance.
  • Round cable design for easy installation and survivability.
  • Polyurethane jacketed for abrasion, cut and chemical resistance.
  • Often used with multiway military tactical connectors for maximum connector retention (400 lbs).
  • Ideally suited for use with MIL-C-38999 style military connectors -- subcables terminate to individual "pins" and overall aramid strength member terminates to backshell.
  • 2 to 24 fibers, higher fiber counts available on request.
