The 15m (49ft) LC to LC Outdoor Armored Fiber Optic Patch Cable is built for high-bandwidth transmission in harsh outdoor and industrial environments. With bend-insensitive OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and dual mechanical protection, it ensures durability and reliability in mission-critical deployments such as data centers, telecom rooms, smart buildings, and FTTH networks.
Transmission Performance:
Featuring bend-insensitive OM3/OM4 multimode 50/125μm fiber:
- OM3: 10Gbps up to 300m, 40Gbps up to 100m
- OM4: 10Gbps up to 400m, 40Gbps up to 150m, 100Gbps up to 100m
Enhanced Engineering Features:
- 5mm vs 3mm Durability: The 5.0mm outer diameter provides 66% thicker protection compared to standard 3.0mm cables, enhancing crush resistance and environmental robustness.
- Waterproof & Weatherproof: Industrial TPU jacket is fully waterproof and resists UV rays, corrosion, and temperature swings from -40°C to +80°C, ideal for buried or exposed installations.
- Crush & Tensile Strength: Stainless steel spiral armor and fiberglass yarns offer resistance up to 3000N (crush) and 600N (tensile), ensuring performance under pressure.
- UV & Environmental Longevity: The outer TPU jacket resists aging from sun exposure, salt fog, and thermal cycling—remaining flexible after 20 years in the field.
- Polarity Flexibility: LC uniboot duplex connectors allow tool-free polarity reversal, simplifying rack management and future upgrades.
