Tactical Fiber Cables
Features and 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.
