ASTEL Armoured Fiber Optic Patch Cords – Flexible Steel Tube Protection

AED 0.00
In stock
Product Model
Armoured Patch cords

    • ASTEL Fiber Optic Armoured Patch Cords are designed for optical connections in demanding industrial environments where conventional fiber patch cords may be exposed to mechanical stress, external pressure, oil and chemicals. Featuring flexible steel tube protection and an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) cable jacket, these armoured patch cords provide enhanced crush resistance for fiber network installations in oil rigs, marine facilities, chemical processing plants, refineries and metal industries.
    The series supports single-mode OS2 (G.652D and G.657A2) and multimode OM1, OM2, OM3 and OM4 fiber types, with SC, FC, ST, E2000 and LC connector options. Connector combinations can be selected according to network requirements, including PC/UPC and APC configurations where applicable.
    ASTEL armoured patch cords offer typical insertion loss of ≤0.20dB, with return loss specifications of ≥55dB for single-mode PC/UPC, ≥60dB for single-mode APC and ≥35dB for multimode PC. Standard lengths range from 0.5m to 100m, while custom lengths from 0.3m to 250m are available on request.
