Armored Figure-8 Cable
Our armored figure-8 cable is a fiber optic cable that is made by shaping two single-core armored cables into an 8-shaped outer jacket. From the inside to the outside, it is comprised of the optic fiber, a stainless steel flexible conduit, Kevlar, a stainless steel braiding and a flame-retardant jacket.
This armored cable has two sizes available at 2mm and 3 mm. We offer it in either single mode or multi-mode fiber options according to customer specifications.
Features of the armored figure-8 cable
1. This superior data transfer medium comes with outstanding tensile strength, comprehensive resistance and rodent protection.
2. The sheath is available in flame retardant PVC, LSHZ, PE, and PU.
3. The unique structure allows an easy installation.
4. The armored optical cable has passed UL certifications and meets RoHS standards.
