Our Indoor/Outdoor Plenum Rated Interlocking Armored Custom Pre-Terminated Fiber Optic Cable Assemblies help save time and money in indoor and outdoor applications where innerduct or conduit is necessary, or in industrial environments which require extra protection. Although this option is priced higher than standard indoor distribution cable, it outweighs its overall price when compared the cost of purchasing innerduct/conduit, indoor fiber, and installation for both. This fiber is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, so there is no 50 foot fire code requirement traditionally found with outdoor (OSP) cable. 

Note: If part of your run requires conduit usage you must use have at least a 3" conduit in place with sweeping bends.  

Interlocking armored cables are standard distribution cables inside a spirally wrapped aluminum interlocking armor with a heavy-duty outer jacket.  This combination provides superior crush resistance.  This type of cable is also useful for warehouses or attic areas where the presence of rodent chew hazards may exist.  This indoor/outdoor interlocking armored cable has a water blocking aramid yarn strength member surrounding the fiber optic strands and a UV resistant outer jacket making it a very versatile and perfect choice for a large variety of installations.
