Indoor/Outdoor Plenum Premises Distribution (PDP-I/O, ICP-I/O)
Description
Berk-Tek's plenum rated Indoor/Outdoor Tight-Buffer cables are designed specifically for LAN/WAN campus and building backbone cabling infrastructure. These thermoplastic jacketed cables are suitable for Indoor/Outdoor installations, in-conduit, below the frost line.
Description
Standards
International : EN 50173; ISO/IEC 11801National : ANSI/ICEA S-104-696; ANSI/ICEA S-83-596; ANSI/TIA-568.3-D; NFPA 130; Telcordia GR-409
Description
This fiber optic cable is designed for installation in plenum, riser and horizontal environments and interbuilding backbone structures. This design incorporates tight buffered optical fibers within a dry water blocked cable core. Suitable for operation across wide temperature variations typically addressed by outside plant cables. No Buffer Tube Fanout kits are required. Direct termination is enabled.
Construction
- Each cable utilizes our DryGel water blocking system in the cable core. Cable design can accommodate from 2-144 tight buffered (900 µm) fibers. All dielectric.
- Aluminum Interlocking Armor (Armor-Tek) versions are available.
Outdoor Considerations
- These water-blocked cables feature fungus resistant jacketing, and are sunlight resistant per UL 444 clause 7.22.
- For use in conduit, below the frost line.
- Loose Tube cables are recommended if interbuilding conduit systems lie above the frost line and are likely to fill with water.
- Tight Buffer fiber cables are not suitible for aerial-lashed installations.
Applications
Berk-Tek's tight buffered cable is intended for all high speed data applications including:
- ETHERNET: 10BASE – 400GBASE (10BASE, 100BASE, 1000BASE, 10GBASE, 40GBASE, 100GBASE, 400GBASE)
