The D-connect Double Jacket Double Armored Fiber Optic Cable is a heavy-duty outdoor cable designed for high-performance optical communication in harsh environments. Featuring dual armor layers, double jackets, and water-blocking protection, it delivers superior mechanical strength, moisture resistance, and long-term network reliability for telecom and broadband infrastructures.
Part Number: FC-96-PE-BL-OS2-MD2-S
The D-connect Double Jacket Double Armored Fiber Optic Cable is engineered for high-performance outdoor fiber installations where maximum mechanical protection and environmental resistance are required. Designed for telecom, broadband, and enterprise networks, this cable ensures stable signal transmission even in the most demanding conditions.
It supports OS2 single-mode and OM2, OM3, OM4, and OM5 multimode fibers, offering flexibility for diverse network requirements. The stranded loose tube design filled with hydrolysis-resistant gel protects fibers from mechanical stress, while the central metal strength member provides excellent strain relief during installation and operation.
Its double-jacket construction enhances moisture resistance and crush protection. The dual armor layers of steel tape and aluminum tape deliver robust rodent resistance and mechanical durability, making the cable ideal for duct and direct burial installations. A water-blocking layer prevents longitudinal water ingress, ensuring long-term fiber integrity in wet and humid environments.
With a wide operating temperature range, the D-connect Double Jacket Double Armored Fiber Optic Cable is a reliable solution for building strong, secure, and long-lasting outdoor fiber networks.
The D-CONNECT Double-Armoured DOUBLE JACKET Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable is built to meet the highest international standards for performance, reliability, and safety — ensuring dependable operation in harsh outdoor environments.
