Fibre optic cables — Steel-armoured Ø 3.0 mm

Steel-armoured fibre optic cable Ø 3.0 mm — SC, LC, OS2, OM3, OM4

Fibre patch cords protected by a corrugated steel tape under a 3.0 mm black LSZH jacket: they stand up to rodents, crushing and the weather. For runs behind furniture, inside a wall, along a façade or in a workshop, where an ordinary patch cord would not last.

✓ Steel tape under the jacket ✓ Crush resistance rated up to 450 kg ✓ 7.5 mm bend radius ✓ Indoor and outdoor

Two questions — we show you the armoured cable that matches your connectors.

Step 1 What are you connecting?
Step 2 For a switch: which fibre? (optional)

Armoured SC cable for a fibre box — single-mode OS2

Between the fibre wall outlet (green SC/APC) and the box. Box with a green connector: SC/APC at both ends. Box with a blue connector (SC/UPC): SC/APC on the outlet side, SC/UPC on the box side, no adapter needed.

Armoured LC/APC simplex cable — single-mode OS2

Green angle-polished LC/APC connectors on a single OS2 9/125 µm fibre: LC/APC at both ends, or LC/APC at one end and SC/APC at the other to reach an SC/APC outlet or patch panel.

Armoured LC/UPC duplex cable — OS2, OM3, OM4

Two fibres to connect a switch, server, media converter or patch panel with LC ports. Single-mode OS2 for LR modules, multimode OM3 or OM4 for SR modules. On 5221 and 4511 the duplex clip comes off to give two LC simplex ends, marked A / B.

Why an armoured cable?

A fibre protected by steel

Around the fibre, a corrugated steel tape takes knocks and bites, then a halogen-free, flame-retardant, UV-resistant LSZH jacket closes the cable. Crush resistance rated up to 450 kg.

Installed outdoors, no extra conduit

The cable fixes straight onto a façade or along a gutter: sun, rain, snow and frost do not damage it. Handy for running fibre to an outbuilding, a garage or a technical room.

Flexible despite the armour

7.5 mm bend radius: the cable follows skirting boards, works round obstacles and fits in trunking without stressing the fibre.

Built for harsh environments

Machinery, workshops, factories, railways: where an ordinary patch cord ends up crushed or chewed, the armoured cable keeps the link up, indoors and outdoors.

Frequently asked questions — armoured fibre cable

1Armoured cable or standard patch cord: which one?
A standard patch cord is fine in trunking or a rack. Choose an armoured cable as soon as the run is exposed: behind furniture, inside a wall, on the floor, outdoors or where there are rodents. The steel tape under the jacket protects the fibre from crushing and bites.
2Can this cable be installed outdoors?
Yes. The LSZH jacket resists UV, rain, snow and frost: the cable fixes straight onto a façade or along a gutter, with no extra conduit.
3Does the armour make the cable stiff?
No. The cable takes a 7.5 mm bend radius: it follows skirting boards and goes round tight corners and through trunking.
4Which cable for my fibre box?
Look at the colour of the connector on the box. Green (SC/APC): take the SC/APC ↔ SC/APC cable (1366). Blue (SC/UPC): take the SC/APC ↔ SC/UPC cable (1385). The fibre wall outlet is SC/APC in both cases.
5Single-mode or multimode for a switch?
The fibre must match the SFP module. LR module (single-mode): OS2 cable (5221). SR module (multimode): OM3 (4511) or OM4 (36410) cable. At 10G SR, OM3 reaches up to 300 m and OM4 up to 400 m.
6APC and UPC: what is the difference?
APC (green connector): angle-polished end face, used on fibre outlets and boxes. UPC (blue connector on single-mode): flat-polished end face, common on switches and SFP modules. They do not plug into each other: choose the connectors that match each end.
7Which lengths are available?
From 5 m to 300 m depending on the model (10 m to 300 m for the 5221 and 4511 duplex); you choose the length on the product page. Measure the actual route, including rises and detours, then take the next length up: the spare loop is easy to tuck away.
