MPO Breakout Spiral Steel Tube Armored Fiber Optic Cable

This MPO breakout armored cable integrates a spiral stainless steel tube for superior crush resistance and flexibility. Each fiber is individually reinforced and jacketed for direct termination, making it ideal for demanding installations such as industrial networks, military communication, and broadcast systems. Available with single-mode or multimode fibers.

1. Structure & Design

• Armored Layer: Spiral stainless steel tube provides excellent protection against mechanical stress, rodents, and bending.

• Fiber Units: Each core is individually sheathed and reinforced for easy identification and direct termination—no need for fan-out kits.

• Outer Jacket: Available in LSZH or TPU, resistant to flame, oil, and UV, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

• Color: Typically black or customizable upon request.

• Core Count: Options from 4 cores to 24 cores.

• Cable Diameter: Varies by configuration (typically 7–15mm).

• Strength Member: Aramid yarn for tensile strength.

2. Applications

• Industrial control systems

• Military and aerospace communication

• Broadcast and video transmission systems

• Harsh environment FTTH/FTTA scenarios

• Data centers requiring high mechanical protection

3. Advantages

• Spiral steel tube armor ensures high crush resistance and flexibility

• Breakout design allows easy and direct termination to equipment or patch panels

• Excellent protection against rodents, moisture, and mechanical damage

• Customizable fiber type, color, length, and connector options

4. FAQs

• Q1: Is this cable suitable for outdoor installations?
  Yes, with its armored structure and TPU/LSZH jacket, it can be used in outdoor and even semi-harsh environments.
• Q2: Can I order this cable with pre-terminated connectors?
  Absolutely. We offer custom assemblies with SC, LC, FC, ST, or MPO connectors.
• Q3: Does it support both single-mode and multimode fibers?
  Yes, available in G.657A1/A2, G.652D single-mode, or OM2/OM3/OM4 multimode options.
• Q4: What’s the minimum bending radius?
  Typically 10–15 times the cable diameter; thanks to the spiral steel tube, it allows tighter bending compared to traditional armored cables.
• Q5: Can the cable be buried directly?
  While it provides excellent mechanical protection, direct burial is not recommended unless placed in conduit. For direct burial, a different armored structure like corrugated steel tape is preferred.
