Born from more than a quarter century of never-fail performance in military and harsh environments, OCC tight-buffered oil & gas cable and connectivity options are the ideal one-stop solution for drilling, exploration, production, refining, and pipeline security applications, where temperature extremes, vibration, impact, and chemical exposure are commonplace.

OCC products designed to meet performance demands of the oil & gas industry include:

  • Ultra-Fox™ and Ultra Fox™ Plus Cables: Ultra-Fox family of cables feature 100 kpsi proof-tested fiber, combined with a primary buffer of UV-cured acrylate material and a secondary elastomeric buffer to 900 micron diameter. Ultra-Fox specifications meet a variety of installation requirements, from increased bend tolerance to super crush and impact resistance.
  • Interlocked Armored Cables: Fluoropolymer injected plenum interlocked armor fiber optic cables offer optimal protection from chemical penetration and mechanical damage.
  • Core-Locked™ Cable Jackets: Extruded under high pressure directly over the cable’s core, Core-Locked™ cable jackets contain 25 percent more material for greater protection and stability. Helical cusped ridge interlock with the subcables, preventing slippage or axial movement during long-run installations.
