Armoured Patchcord22222

Stainless-steel armoured patch cords for rugged, rodent-resistant installations.

Flexible stainless steel inner tube protects against high pull strength, crushing, twisting, and rodent damage
Deployable without additional conduit or protective tubing, saves space and simplifies installation
Available in single mode (OS2) and multimode fiber configurations
Connector options: FC, SC, ST, LC, and MU, mix and match on each end
End-face polish options: PC, UPC, and APC for single mode; PC for multimode
Insertion loss ≤ 0.3 dB (single mode and multimode); return loss ≥ 60 dB (APC single mode)

Industrial and factory floor environments requiring protection against mechanical stress and rodent damage
Outdoor and semi-outdoor fiber runs where conduit installation is impractical
Data centre raised-floor routing where cables are subject to foot traffic and compression
Telecommunications equipment rooms with high-density cable management requirements
