The ASTEL Breakout Fiber Optic Cable (FOC-BC-XX-YY) is designed for indoor optical fiber installations requiring increased tensile strength, crush resistance and mechanical protection. Its breakout construction incorporates individually protected cable elements with independent strength members and a dual-jacket design. Available in 2 to 12 fiber counts, the cable is suitable for indoor vertical installations, ceiling routing and surface laying. The manufacturer lists LSZH inner jackets and LSZH outer jacket options with rodent protection, along with a black TPU outer jacket option offering anti-crush properties. The series includes single-mode G.652D and multimode OM1, OM3 and OM4 fiber options. These configurations support professional indoor fiber optic infrastructure and optical connector interconnection applications.
The manufacturer's technical table provides the following numerical values for the 4-core configuration.
