Aerial OM4 MultiMode Fiber Optic Cable
Aerial OM4 50/125 MultiMode Fiber Optic Cables are made for outdoor use along utility poles for cable television, telecom or other outside plant campus backbone applications. Thanks to a sturdy 1/4" galvanized messenger wire pre-attached to the aerial fiber optic cable, the cable is self-supported, virtually eliminating the need for the aerial fiber cable to be lashed to an external wire. This figure-eight design reduces the installation time and cost by approximately 50% when compared to separate installation of a messenger wire and the lashing of the cable to the messenger. If you do decide you want to lash the cable, it is compatible with standard messenger clamps and support hardware.
A wide operating temperature of -40ºC to +85ºC will be sure to protect the cable from the harsh outdoor weather conditions and the polyethylene outer jacket is excellent for blocking UV. When running this cable between poles, it's very important to ensure the correct spacing is used based on the weather conditions of where the cable is located.
Cleaning your fiber connector end faces and components regularly is crucial for avoiding a total network failure. Ensure your optical fiber system is working properly and prevent major network issues with fiber cleaning kits, pens, fluids, and wipes.
Applications
- Outdoor aerial installations along utility poles for cable television, telecom or other outside plant campus backbone applications without the need for cable lashing
Features
Features
