Questions & Answers
What is plenum rated?
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.
Can these assemblies handle environmental hazards like wind and rain?
Yes. The PE jacket and integrated messenger protect the cable from wind, rain, UV exposure, and temperature extremes typical in outdoor aerial installations.
What does “figure-8” configuration mean?
The figure-8 design integrates the fiber cable with a built-in messenger wire, allowing aerial installation without separate lashing, simplifying deployment and reducing labor costs.
Where can these aerial assemblies be installed?
They are ideal for utility poles, campus networks, long-span aerial runs, and fiber backbone connections between buildings or network hubs.
What applications are ideal for aerial pre-terminated assemblies?
They are perfect for long-distance backbone runs, connecting remote buildings on a campus, utility pole deployments, and industrial aerial fiber pathways.
