The new assemblies are waterproof and dustproof for a wide range of outdoor uses, including broadcast, military ground communications, oil and gas, transport and renewable energy.
ODVA-compatible, these fibre optic cable assemblies offer major benefits and feature a simple bayonet-locking system and are compatible and interchangeable with new or existing ODVA cable deployments. They are easy to install for LTE, fibre to the antenna (FTTA), DAS and mobile cell tower applications, including remote radio unit (RRU) and base band unit (BBU). Options are available for multimode fibre and single mode fibre.
These ODVA-compatible, MPO fibre optic cable assemblies exceed the requirements for ODVA and are outdoor-rated with an IP68 designation for reliability in harsh environments. This includes water immersion and an operational temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius (-40 F) to +70 C (+158 F). The cable jackets are chemical-resistant and have a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) burn rating.
These cable assemblies offer low insertion loss and come in 12-strand fibre or 24-strand fibre and lengths up to 30 meters (98 feet). Also included in the product line are ODVA-compatible, IP68-rated fan-out assemblies with lengths up to 5 meters (16 feet) and IP68 LC connectors with chemical resistance and a superior pull force of 100 pounds.
