Military Non-Metallic Tight Buffer Tactical Fiber Optic Cable

This Military-Grade Tight Buffer Tactical Fiber Optic Cable is engineered for high-mobility, high-durability applications such as military field communications, emergency response, and temporary deployments. With an all-dielectric structure, tight-buffered fibers, and a robust outer jacket, it provides excellent crush resistance, flexibility, and environmental protection. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, it supports repeated deployment and retrieval.

1. Structure & Design

• Fiber Type:

  • • Single-mode (G.652D, G.657A1/A2) or multimode (OM2, OM3, OM4)

    • Fiber counts: 1 to 24 cores, typically 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12

• Buffering:

  • • 900μm tight buffer for easy field termination and excellent handling

    • Each fiber is individually coated for protection

• Strength Members:

  • • Aramid yarn (Kevlar) provides tensile strength and rodent resistance

    • No metallic components – fully dielectric and EMI immune

• Outer Jacket:

  • • Made of tough TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) for abrasion, chemical, and UV resistance

    • Highly flexible and kink-resistant

• Color:

  • • Black or military green standard; other colors customizable

• Typical OD:

  • • 5.0 mm to 7.5 mm depending on fiber count and jacket design

• Operating Temperature:

• • • -40°C to +70°C

2. Applications

• Military field communication systems
• Emergency and disaster recovery networks
• Tactical broadcast and video transmission
• Temporary fiber networks at events or field exercises
• Oilfield and mining communication setups
• Outdoor-to-indoor or harsh environment fiber runs

3. Advantages

• Ultra-rugged and reusable: Designed for repeated field use and rough handling
• Flexible and lightweight: Easy to deploy, coil, and transport
• Fully dielectric: Safe near electrical systems, no corrosion risk
• Direct termination or use with ruggedized connectors (e.g., MIL-DTL-83526)
• UV, water, and chemical resistant TPU jacket for all-weather performance
• Customizable reel, connector, and jacket options available
