Indoor/Outdoor Armored Fiber Optic Cable

Proterial Cable America’s indoor/outdoor armored tight-buffered plenum cable is durable, flexible, and easy to handle. The standard lightweight aluminum interlock armor eliminates the need for an inner duct or conduit, as well as the associated installation costs of either. 

This RoHS 3-compliant armored indoor/outdoor fiber optic cable’s plenum rating allows it to be used for outdoor applications, as well as virtually all indoor, general-purpose applications, including high-traffic areas, data centers, and multi-story buildings

The armored cable is manufactured in the USA with a 900μm buffered design that allows for easy termination, and each fiber is colorcoded for quick identification. All multi mode and single mode cables (except OM1) utilize color-coded, bend-insensitive Corning optical fibers for greater flexibility. Supported high-speed data transmission applications include Gigabit, 10 Gigabit, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this tight-buffered outdoor fiber cable OFNP or OFCP-rated?

Our indoor/outdoor armored tight-buffered plenum is OFCP-rated (conductive plenum). 

Can I route an outdoor run straight into plenum spaces without a splice?

Yes—this design allows you to connect directly from outside to plenum areas (drop ceilings, raised floors), enabling the link to be installed end-to-end without a mid-span splice. That helps simplify the installation process and keep routing clean and efficient.

How does the cable handle water exposure?

Dry super-absorbent polymers (SAPs) block moisture migration, keeping the core clean inside the cable and improving resistance to issues that can occur during outdoor transitions.

How does the cable keep moisture out over outdoor segments?

It uses dry super-absorbent polymers to block moisture migration so the core stays clean inside the cable—useful where condensation or ingress can occur during outdoor-to-indoor transitions.
