Description
Standards
International : EN 50173; ISO/IEC 11801National : ANSI/TIA-568.3-D; Telcordia GR-409
Description
Construction
Each cable utilizes individual subunits containing a single 900 um tight buffered fiber, surrounded by aramid yarns. Cable design accommodates from 2 to 48 fibers.
- Each fiber in an individual compact, numbered, aramid-filled subunit
- Tape wrapped dry core
- Colored high-strength ripcord
- Aluminum (standard) or steel interlock armored cables available
Applications
Berk-Tek’s Heavy Duty Breakout cables are suitable for all passive and active optical network designs requiring high speed voice, video, and data applications, including (but not limited to):
- ETHERNET: 10BASE – 400GBASE (10BASE, 100BASE, 1000BASE, 10GBASE, 40GBASE, 100GBASE, 400GBASE)
- Fibre Channel: 1G-FC – 128GFC (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 128 GFC)
