Belden Optical Fiber Cables
Advanced Networks Need Advanced Technology
Today’s advanced networks are diverse and very varied and almost always complex. The right way ahead is to future-proof these networks and take precautions to protect them against anything that will create problems, damage or disrupt.
Buffered Fiber Cables
This group of products is characterized by buffered fibers.
- Interconnect Cables: Featuring semi-tight buffer and tight buffer technology for easy cable preparation during termination.
- Breakout Cables (BO): Breakout cables are the preferred choice for direct termination methods. Each numbered fiber subunit is protected by a layer of aramid yarn and encased in a FRNC/LSNH jacket.
- Mini-Breakout Cables: These cables offer dry constructions with semi-tight or tight buffer technology for easier fiber stripping during cable preparation. They are perfect for both indoor and indoor/outdoor use.
- Mobile and Tactical Fiber Cables: These cables offer dry constructions with semi-tight or tight buffer technology for easier fiber stripping during cable preparation. They are perfect for both indoor and indoor/outdoor use.
Central Loose Tube Cables (CLT)
Central loose tube cables are designed either for indoor/outdoor application or outdoor use only as direct burial, duct and outside tray. For better performance, Belden® only uses (non-dripping and silicone-free) jelly-filled loose tubes. The central loose tube series has a polyethylene or halogen-free jacket. These cables have been updated with a longitudinal watertightness swellable yarn for weather resistance.
Multi Loose Tube Cables (MLT)
Multi loose tube cables, with no aquagel between the tubes (dry core) or with jelly-filled cable core, are designed for direct burial, duct, outside tray and aerial applications. For better performance, Belden only uses (non dripping and silicone-free) jelly-filled loose tubes. Tubes and (when necessary) blind elements are S-Z stranded around the central element. The multi loose tube series has a High-Density-Polyethylene (HDPE) or halogen-free jacket. These cables have been updated with waterblocking aramid or glass yarn. Standard and improved rodent protection designs are available with high fiber counts up to 216 fibers.
