FIBER IN METAL TUBES

Universal Cable

An All-Purpose Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable

The optical fibers within the Universal Cable are encapsulated in a stainless-steel tube, ensuring maximum optical performance. In addition, the steel stranding wires and polymer sheath provide reliable resistance to mechanical stress and other external influences.

The all-purpose design of the Universal Cable makes it equally suitable for both aerial and direct-buried fiber optic cable installations. It’s also a perfect fiber optic solution for rapid deployment. Furthermore, there’s a wide range of available accessories, such as fittings, optical components, and fixing parts. Upon request, the cable can include flame retardants and comply with low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) requirements.

The Universal Cable provides Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). It’s a particular favorite of the Military and Marine industries, where high and reliable performance in harsh environments is vital.
