Armored Fiber Jumper and Its Features

Armored fiber jumper is one of fiber assemblies type, The layer of stainless tube can protect the fiber so the patch cord not only has the features of standard assemblies but also with good protection from rodents and outer forces.

The structure of the armored fiber cable:

The armored fiber cable structure consists of fiber which surrounded by small diameter stainless tube and kelvar , if more protection required, stainless steel braid can be added out of the kelvar . The small diameter spiral stainless steel tube is added to the outside of the optical fiber, which not only enhances the pressure resistance, and also guarantees the same flexibility and a variety of superior optical performance as the standard optical fiber jumper. The stainless steel tube as the protective layer closest to the optical fiber can prevent damage caused by mechanical force.
The High-strength aramid reinforcement to ensure no tensile strain on the optical fiber , Light weight, good bending performance and high flexibility.
Some armored jumpers will use high-strength PVC as the surface material, which is flame-retardant, chemically resistant, and tear-resistant and also increases the flexibility and elasticity of armored fiber optic jumpers

Characteristics of armored fiber jumper:
The armored fiber jumper has the characteristics of high strength, tensile strength, pressure resistance, rodent resistance, stress resistance. The armored jumper can be laid directly outdoors and in various harsh environments without the use of protective sleeves. The bending and diameter of the optical cable are not greatly restricted, which greatly saves space and eases of cable deployment , Reducing construction costs. Although the armored cable is very strong, it is actually as soft as a standard fiber jumper and can be bent at will without breaking down.
Armored fiber jumpers can be terminated with SC, ST, FC, LC, MU and other terminal interface types. It can be applied to complex environments such as building wiring, optical connection of key equipment rooms, field operations, sensor detection, FTTH, and community backbone network wiring. The stainless steel sheathed tube can protect the fiber optic jumper from squeezing and prevent penetrating from rodents bite. The armored fiber jumpers can also be used in data centers, it can provide flexible interconnection for active equipment, passive optical equipment and cross-connects.
