The 8FO (1x8) Direct Burial Central Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable OM2 50/125μm Metallic Armoured Rodent Protection Blue (Part number: K1FZ144008UFA5) from KDP with 8FO and Metallic Armoured construction . Direct buried cable is optimised for injection into ducts in optical networks and is usually directly buried or installed in ducts by air-blowing, jetted, pulled or pushed into the duct.
The 8FO (1x8) Direct Burial Central Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable OM2 50/125μm Metallic Armoured Rodent Protection Blue from KDP is a Direct Burial cable with 8 fibers within 1 central tube. This distribution cable for optical networks has a central tube structure with a UV stable polyethylene outer sheath plus a corrugated steel tape, for higher mechanical and rodent resistance. Waterblocking E-glass yarn prevent the progression of water inside the cable. The optical fibers comply with TIA recommendations OM2.
For outdoor use; Direct burial possible.

OM2 (Optical Multimode 2) 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 than OM1, supporting up to 10 Gbps over distances of up to 90 meters. OM2 is commonly used for data center applications and LANs, but is being replaced by higher-grade fibers for longer-range transmissions.
Metallic Armoured is a type of fiber optic cable protection designed to provide a high degree of mechanical protection against impacts, crushing, and other hazards. This protection is achieved by using an armor layer made of metal wires, tapes, or corrugated steel, which provides a high level of strength and durability. Metallic armoured FOC is commonly used in outdoor and industrial applications where the cable is exposed to harsh environments, such as oil rigs, mining operations, and military installations. This type of protection also provides additional protection against electromagnetic interference and other sources of signal distortion.
Multi mode fiber uses a LED or a VCSEL light source, is a type of optical fiber with a big core diameter that allows several rays of light to propagate. It is used in telecommunications and data transmission systems to transmit signals over small distances with high or medium attenuation and bandwidth to 10Gb/s. Multi mode fiber is ideal for medium-speed and small-distance applications, such as networks backbone and fiber to the desk in an enterprise network. Its large core provoques the dispersion of light, preventing signals to travel further and faster than with singlemode fiber.
