| Armor Material Grade | Interlocked Aluminum Armor (IAA) / Corrugated Steel Tape (CST) | Equivalent to ASTM B209 aluminum alloy; galvanized steel per ASTM A653; provides crush and rodent resistance |
| Jacket Material | LSZH / PVC / PE | Low Smoke Zero Halogen per IEC 60332-1; PVC per UL 1666; PE for outdoor/direct burial applications |
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 2700 N (short-term) / ≥ 1000 N (long-term) | Per IEC 60794-1-2 Method E1; armored construction significantly exceeds standard cable ratings |
| Crush Resistance | ≥ 3000 N/100mm | Tested per IEC 60794-1-2 Method E3; interlocked armor provides superior lateral load protection |
| Connector Type | LC, SC, MPO/MTP, ST, FC | Pre-polished at factory; insertion loss ≤ 0.3 dB (SM) / ≤ 0.5 dB (MM); return loss ≥ 55 dB (UPC) / ≥ 65 dB (APC) |
| Cable Diameter (OD) | 6.0 mm – 18.0 mm | Varies by fiber count (1F–144F) and armor type; custom OD available upon request |
| Cable Length Range | 1 m – 500 m (standard); custom lengths available | Factory-tested end-to-end; length tolerance ±0.5%; OTDR test report included per reel |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +70°C (installation: -20°C to +60°C) | Per IEC 60794-1-2; suitable for indoor, outdoor, and industrial environments |
| Bend Radius | ≥ 10× cable OD (long-term) / ≥ 20× cable OD (short-term) | Armor construction maintains minimum bend radius compliance per IEC 60794-1-2 Method E11 |
| Surface Finish | Smooth extruded jacket; color-coded per TIA-598-D | Aqua (OM3), Erika Violet (OM4), Lime Green (OM5), Yellow (OS2); custom colors available |
| Application | Data centers, industrial networks, campus backbone, FTTX, harsh environments | Ideal for high-traffic areas, raised floors, conduit runs, and locations requiring mechanical protection |
| Certification | UL Listed, CE, RoHS, ISO 9001:2015, Telcordia GR-409 | Third-party tested; factory OTDR and IL/RL test reports supplied with each assembly |
| Packaging | Wooden reel / cardboard spool / pull-out box | Connectors protected with dust caps; ESD-safe packaging; custom labeling and OTDR trace documentation included |
| MOQ | 1 piece (standard lengths); 50 m (custom assemblies) | Bulk pricing available for orders ≥ 100 assemblies; OEM/ODM service supported |
Ordered 60 armored OS2 assemblies with SC/UPC connectors for a mining site communications upgrade. The cables themselves performed correctly — attenuation and return loss met TIA-568.3-D specs. However, roughly 10 units in the first batch had incorrect length labels (marked 30 m, actual 25 m), which caused confusion during installation planning. I raised the issue and the supplier responded within one business day, shipped replacement labeled units, and issued a credit note. Issue resolved satisfactorily. Product quality is fine; just tighten QC on labeling.
