Standards  List

Optical Cable Corporation's tight-buffer fiber optic cables meet the functional requirements of the following standards:

     ANSI X3T9.5 PMD
     ATM 155 Mb/s
     FDDI 100 Mb/s
     Fibre Channel FC-PH
     GR-409-CORE
     ICEA-83-596
     TIA-568
     TIA-598-A
     TIA-758

UL-listed type OFNR in accordance  with NEC sections 770-51 (b) and 770-53 (b) for use in vertical runs  in building riser shafts or from floor to floor. Meets or exceeds  requirements for intra-building fiber optic cables as outlined in GR-409-CORE.

UL-listed type OFPN in accordance  with NEC sections 770-51 (a) and 770-53 (a) for use in ducts, plenums, and air-handling spaces. Meets or exceeds requirements for intra-building fiber optic cables as outlined in GR-409-CORE

Features and Applications

      Used in trunking, LAN and dristribution applications where small size, lightweight, and versatile installation capability are required.

     Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use -- no need to  splice outdoor cable to indoor cable at the building entrance.

     Flame-retardant for indoor installations. Fungus-resistant, water-resistant and UV-resistant for outdoor use.

     Cable can be armored for additional protection in direct burial and aerial installations.

     Highest specific strength-to-weight ratio and compact cable design for limited conduit space and tight bends in long cable pulls.

     Helically stranded cable core for flexibility, survival in  difficult pulls, and superior mechanical protection for the optical fibers. Available on most cables.

     Lower total installed costs.

     Economical for longer distance runs where size and cable cost are more significant.

     High performance tight-buffer coating on each optical fiber for environmental and mechanical protection.

     D-Series and DC-Series cables feature Core-Locked™  outer jacket for enhanced cable pulling versatility through multiple bends or vertically.

     2 to 156 fibers without subgrouping for the most size efficient tight-buffer fiber optic cable available. Higher fiber counts are available upon request.

     For D-Series and DC-Series Cables - Water-Blocked Option: A totally dry water-blocked option utilizes the Core-Locked™ jacket along with super-absorbent-polymer coated aramid  yarn, which swells upon exposure to water. Use a D or a  DC prefix for Core-Locked™ jacket, and append a "WB"  suffix onto the regular part number. For example, a typical part number is DC006-055D-W3EB/1UC/900-RWB. Available on most cables
