- Ground-tactical cable that is ideal for use in harsh environments where deployment and retrieval for reuse are required
- Ideal for applications that require termination of the subcables to a connector
Applications
- Ground-tactical cables are ideal for use in harsh environments where deployment and retrieval for reuse is required
- Ideal for applications that require termination of the subcables to a connector
Features
- Extremely strong, lightweight, rugged, survivable tight-buffered cables designed for military tactical field use and commercial applications
- Polyurethane jacketed for abrasion, cut and chemical resistance
- Core-locked® jacket for improved mechanical performance
- Breakout cable design with individual color-coded subcables protecting each optical fiber
- Crush resistant and resilient, with two seperate layers of aramid strength members in the subcables for individual single-fiber connector and termination pin, and overall for termination to multiway connector backshells or other housing
- Helically stranded cable core for flexibility, deployment survivability and exceptional mechanical protection for the optical fibers
- Cables have been tested and are in use in military data communications applications worldwide
- Can be used outdoors for temporary deployment directly on the ground, in all terrains, including severe environments
- Suitable for industrial, mining and petrochemical environments - chemical resistant
- Round cable design for easy installation and survivability
- Ideally suited for use with MIL-C-38999 style military connectors - subcables terminate to individual pins and overall aramid strength member terminates to backshell
- 2.0 mm subcables standard
- Tactical Polyurethane (C) outer jacket material is standard. Flame- retardant tactical (V) and Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (G) outer jacket materials are available
- Ultra-Fox Plus fiber used for the ultimate environmental and mechanical protection
OCC PROVIDED OPTIONS
- Mil-Tac cables prespooled on deployable reels for a ready-to-use product
- Mil-Tac cables can be pre-terminated with single-fiber or ruggedized multichannel connectors upon request
