D-Series Distribution – Corrugated Steel Tape (CST) Armored Cables

Installation zone RECOMMENDATION

DX-Series Distribution Cable series with corrugated steel tape (CST) armoring. Ideal for installation where direct burial or rodent protection is required. The steel-armor is easily removed with an internal ripcord, leaving a fully functional intact DX-Series Distribution riser-rated inner cable with original cable marking for identification.

Applications

Ideal for use in point-to-point runs in between buildings
Inner tight-buffered cable is suitable for direct field termination with standard optical connectors
Ideal for installations requiring an extremely rugged and reliable cable design where maximum mechanical and environmental protection are necessary

Features

High-performance components and construction
Inner cable materials are Indoor/Outdoor: UV, water and fungus resistant
Polyethylene (A) outer jacket is UV, water and fungus resistant: ideal for outdoor installations
Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to + 85°C
High-performance 900µm tight-buffered coating on each optical fiber for environmental and mechanical protection 2 to 144 fibers
900µm buffer eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming installation of fanout kits or pigtail splices because connectors terminate directly to the fiber
