Armored patch cord are a new type of fiber optic jumpers that are specially designed with a layer of stainless steel casing to protect the optical fiber. They have the advantages and functions of standard fiber optic jumpers, but at the same time have the durability of armor. It can be laid directly in computer rooms and various harsh environments without the need for protective casing, saving space, reducing construction costs, and greatly improving the convenience of network maintenance.
Armored optical fiber jumper refers to a sheathed optical cable wrapped with a layer of stainless steel armor tube and aramid, and the outermost layer is extruded with layers of PVC/LSZH sheath material to form a cable.
Ordinary optical cable VS armored optical cable
A layer of micro-diameter spiral stainless steel sheathing tube is mainly added outside the optical fiber, which not only enhances the pressure resistance, but also ensures the same flexibility as the standard optical fiber jumper and the various superior optical properties of the optical fiber itself. The micro-diameter stainless steel hose serves as the protective layer closest to the optical fiber, preventing damage caused by mechanical forces.
High-strength aramid reinforcement ensures that the optical fiber has no tensile strain. The outer diameter is a standard optical cable. It is suitable for the application of various connector components. It uses flame-retardant, environmentally friendly, or high-temperature-resistant optical cable covering materials, and the outer diameter is small. , light weight, good bending performance and high flexibility.
Some armored fiber optic jumpers also use high-strength PVC as the surface material, which is flame retardant, chemically resistant, and tear-resistant, and also increases the softness and elasticity of the armored fiber optic jumpers.
Armored fiber optic patch cords have the characteristics of high strength, tensile strength, compression resistance, anti-rat bites, and are not easily damaged by stepping on them. Armored jumpers can be laid directly outdoors and in various harsh environments without the use of protective sleeves. The bending and diameter of optical cables are not greatly restricted, which saves space to a large extent and increases the ease of construction and deployment. , reducing construction costs. Although armored fiber optic cables are strong, they are actually as flexible as standard fiber optic patch cords and can be bent at will without breaking.
Armored fiber optic patch cords can have connector interface types such as SC/LC/FC/ST. It can be applied to complex environments such as building wiring, optical connection of key computer room equipment, field operations, sensor detection, fiber-to-the-home, and community backbone network wiring. Stainless steel sheathing tubes protect fiber optic patch cords from being squeezed and rodent penetration. Another application for armored fiber optic patch cords is in data centers, where they can provide flexible interconnections for active equipment, passive optical equipment, and cross-connects.
