Questions & Answers

Q
Are these assemblies customizable?
A
You can choose any connector type, cable length from 10 feet up to 5,000 feet, and strand count based on the fiber type (multimode OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OM5 or singlemode). A pulling eye can also be added for easier installation. Contact us for additional customization options.
Q
Can I combine multiple assemblies if I need a longer run?
A
Yes, you can couple multiple pre-terminated fiber assemblies using adapter panels or adapters (aka couplers) and patch panels to extend your fiber run.
Q
What is APC polish?
A
APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish refers to a connector end face that is polished at an 8° angle. This angled tip, combined with a specific end face radius, minimizes back reflection to about -60dB. APC connectors are typically green for easy identification.
Q
What is Micro Armor Fiber™ and why is it used in these assemblies?
A
Micro Armor Fiber™ is a revolutionary design that uses a stainless steel coil technology instead of traditional interlocking armor. This provides exceptional flexibility, crush resistance, and rodent resistance, all in a lightweight and compact form.
Q
What is plenum rated?
A
A cable is "plenum rated" when it meets specific fire safety requirements for installation in plenum spaces—these are air-handling areas typically found above suspended ceilings or under raised floors, used to circulate air in buildings. Plenum-rated cables are designed to minimize the spread of flames and toxic fumes in case of a fire, emitting low smoke and toxicity.
