Breakout Cable is designed for routing to different locations and direct termination of fi bers in the fi eld. The cable is mostly suitable for pre-terminated cable assemblies.
Description
The cable contains 2 to 36 fi bers which are individually buffered tight or semi-tight construction. Each fi ber is individually protected in a mini cable. Aramid yarn will be applied either inside the mini cable or within the inner jacket of the cable. The color coded mini cable may be stranded around a central strength member which can be either FRP or fl exible all-dielectric. Outer Jacket may be PVC or LSZH.

Features
• Most rugged and "user friendly" cable design for Local Area Networks
• For installations where ease of termination and termination costs are important factors
• Short and moderate distance links between buildings or within a building, where multiple termination points are needed
• Breakout cables are designed for direct termination with standard connectors
• Cable ideal for direct pulling with wire mesh grips
• Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use -- no need to for splicing at the building entrance
• Flame-retardant or LSZH version for indoor installations
• Fungus-resistant, water-resistant, and UV-resistant for outdoor use
• High quality tight-buffered coating on each fi ber for environmental and mechanical protection
