An optional outer jacket of specialty formulated PVC can be added to provide extra protection and colour-coded to act as a differentiator from other similar cables and for ease of identification. This option is suitable for use in plenum and riser applications, wet locations and where cable is embedded in concrete.
The AFC custom armouring provides mechanical protection and easy cable identification, as well as protection from moisture, plenum and riser environments. Bundling multiple cables under one armor reduces installation steps, providing significant time and labor cost savings compared to conventional raceway methods.
Custom armouring is a suitable solution for communications data cable manufacturers. Numerous UL-listed fiber telecommunications options are available, including category 5 (Cat 5) and category 6 (Cat 6). AFC Cable has CSA International approval to armor and jacket for an extensive range of applications.
AFC offers fast turnaround and provides OTDR testing to ensure fiber optic cable integrity is maintained.
