Armored Fiber Optic Patch Cable Ordering Guide

Fiber optic patch cable is an important cable component for fiber optic networks, the armored fiber optic patch cables are specially designed for harsh environment in in aerospace, automotive, industrial, medical, and military applications. FiberStore provides a huge selection of armored fiber optic patch cables in any configuration, with any connectors types, cable modes, and lengths.
Armored fiber patch cable is a round, compact and very tough duplex patch cable with flexible armouring under PVC or LSZH jacket, providing exceptional crush and kinking resistance. Armored fiber patch cord is different from standard fiber optic patch cables, the very commonly used fiber optic patch cables structures is like this: fiber glass core in the center of the cable, cladding outside the fiberglass for protection, Kevlar outside the cladding, Kevlar is soft as well as very strong material, then the outside is the cable jacket. Traditional fiber optic patch cords are tender equipment, people cannot bend it too much or the fiberglass will be damaged and broken, which is not suitable for harsh environment.
Armored fiber optic patch cables are with the same types of fiber optic connectors as the commonly used types, the difference is the cable itself. Armored fiber optic cables are typically used for indoor applications, with the same outer diameter of common types 2mm or 3mm. The difference is armored fiber optic cables are with stainless steel tape just inside the cable jacket and outside the Kevlar, this stainless unit provides extra feature as well as retain all the function that a common type optical fiber patch cable can give. What's more, armored fiber optic cords are anti-rodent, and it can be handled as electric cables. It is not easy to get damaged or cut, and it can resist an adult step on it.

What's Special about Armored Fiber Optic Patch Cables

An armored fiber patch cable indicates a fiber optic patch cable with stainless armor inside the cable jacket to protect the central unit of the cable. It can also be considered to be formed with a strong fiber optic connector and an armored fiber optic cable. Armored fiber optic patch cable is considered to be an advanced or structures improved fiber optic patch cable. Because of the special structures that the armored fiber optic patch cable has, it makes the armored fiber patch cord shares some special features compared with the standard fiber patch cables, which can be listed below:

Flexibility
Armored fiber optic patch cable retain all the features of standard patch cord, but they are much more strong and flexible. Because of the stainless steel armor inside, it can be resistant of high tension and pressure, even it is step by an adult person, the armored fiber optic patch cables will not get damaged. It is also almost impossible to be bent or dragged to broken.

Anti-rodents
Armored fiber patch cable also shares anti-rodents features, when they are used for outdoor use, people do not need to worry about the rodent animals like rates may bite the cables and make them broken.

Light and compact
Usually the armored fiber optic patch cords are smaller outer diameter than the standard patch cords, this make them space saving and actually light weight. And they can be handled as easily as other electric cables. Armored fiber patch cables are with different jacket colors or jacket types like PVC, PE or OFNR and different types of termination types including SC, ST, FC, LC, MU,SC/APC, ST/APC,FC/APC,LC/APC etc.

In a word, the armored fiber optic patch cables are designed for being used in harsh environment, in which the traditional standard fiber optic patch cable can not fit or get good performance. It is made with special strong connector and fiber armored cable, it can protect the cable from damage caused by twist, pressure or rodent bite. Installation procedure and maintenance is also easy when use the armored fiber patch cables, which is actually an ideal choice for people who is looking for fiber optic patch cords with additional durability, protection and light weight features.
