Indoor Cable
Interlocking Armor Plenum Rated
Overview
With a rugged, armored design delivering up to 10 to 13 times the crush resistance of standard fiber optic cable,
interlocking armor fiber cables are ideal for campus & building backbones, data centers and industrial applications.
Interlocking Armor Plenum fiber cables are not governed by fill ratios because they are UL listed as cable assemblies,
allowing a higher concentration of cables in an area compared to conduit. Because the cable is extremely durable and has
an indoor rating, Interlocking Armor Plenum is an excellent choice for campus environments.
Interlocking Armor Plenum fiber cables also provide outstanding flexibility for modifications, alterations and changes,
(MACs) as well as relocations, pathway changes or design modifications after the cable has been pulled, something
conduit cannot easily accommodate.
Protecting optical fiber cables with interlocking armor provides improved network reliability, flexibility and security.
A user-friendly, cost and space effective alternative to conduit or plenum innerduct. By installing Interlocking Armor
Plenum fiber cables instead of plenum innerduct or conduit, savings can run from 25-50% in materials, and reduce costly
installation time and labor costs by as much as 60%. This is a significant advantage over traditional installation methods.
Interlocking Armor Plenum simplifies last minute relocations or pathway changes and allows a greater concentration of
cables due to UL classification as cable assemblies, not governed by fill ratios.
Interlocking armor delivers superior crush and rodent resistance as well as security and is available in fiber counts of 6-12.
Specifications
Type: Step index singlemode or graded index multimode optical fiber with protective UV cured acrylate coating.
Proof Test: Entire length of fiber is subjected to a 0.7 GPa (100 kpsi) minimum proof stress per TIA/EIA FOTP-31.

Outdoor Cable
Armored
Economical armored protection for lower fiber counts, ideal
for multi-purpose aerial and underground use near the
network edge.
Water Blocking
(swellable tape)
Armored cable has an efficient design with a single central
loose tube. A better fit and cost-effective alternative for low
fiber count designs, this Central Loose Tube cable provides
easy cable entry and flexible routing for multi-purpose
installation of up to 12 fibers.

Water-Blocking Material
MDPE Outer Jacket
Gel-Filled Buffer Tube (up to 12 Fibers)
Ripcord
Features & Benefits
Easy Access Design
-The jacket can be easily opened with a knife and the
included ripcords
-The buffer tube is easily separated from the jacket and
strength members
All-Dielectric Messengers
-No bonding or grounding required
-Flexible and kink resistant
Dry Water-Blocking Technology
-Permits rapid cable preparation and termination
-Water-blocking materials are easily removed
Versatile Design
-Small cross-section and high strength provide good aerial
performance
-Can be pushed or pulled through duct
-Highly crush-resistant
Dual Strength Member Design
-More flexible than a single, all-dielectric rod of the same
strength
-Easier to handle and coil than comparable all-dielectric
Figure-8 designs
-A great alternative where steel strength members are not
permissible
Medium Density Polyethylene Jacket
-Low friction installation
-Excellent protection from environmental hazards
-Sheath markings provide positive identification and length
verification
Performance
-RDUP listed (tested in accordance with PE-90)
