144FO (12x12) Indoor/Outdoor Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable OM3

Fiber Type (ITU) - OM3 G.651.1

OM3 (Optical Multimode 3) is a type of multimode fiber defined by the G.651.1 standard. It has a core diameter of 50 microns and is designed for higher-bandwidth applications over longer distances than OM2, supporting up to 10 Gbps over distances of up to 300 meters and 40 Gbps over distances of up to 100 meters. OM3 is commonly used for data center and enterprise networks and is optimized for use with VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) sources.

FOC Construction - Loose tube

While using a loose tube construction in cables, you can:

• Pull and stretch without causing fractures from bending or tension;
• Have full resistant protection of the fiber core, cladding and coating (mechanical protection and UV protection);
• Reach optimized performances at extreme temperatures;
• Avoid the risk of environmental damage (including water damage).

The loose tube construction solution can be chosen for the following applications:

• Direct buried;
• Aerial;
• Duct;
• Rodent resistant;
• Indoor and outdoor;
• Water-blocking;
• Temperature endurance.

FOC Protection - Anti Rodent

Anti-Rodent is a type of fiber optic cable protection designed to prevent damage from rodents such as rats, mice, and squirrels. This protection is achieved by applying a special coating or tape to the cable, making it difficult for rodents to chew through the cable and cause damage. Anti-rodent protection is particularly important in outdoor and underground installations where rodents are common, and can help to prevent costly and time-consuming repairs.

Jacket Material - LSZH

LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) is a jacket material that is designed to limit the release of smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire. It is made without halogens, which makes it environmentally friendly and safe for human health. LSZH is highly resistant to moisture and chemicals, making it suitable for harsh environments. It is commonly used in public buildings, transportation systems, and other areas where safety is a primary concern. However, LSZH may be more expensive than other materials, and it may have a lower temperature rating, which may limit its use in certain applications.
