Typical Outdoor (OSP) Direct Burial Rated Micro Armored Jacket Applications:

Our Outdoor (OSP) Direct Burial Ultra Thin Armored Pre-Terminated Fiber Optic Assemblies utilize Micro Armor Fiber™. A revolutionary designed fiber optic cable that provides a perfect solution for your fiber optic installs and usage.  Instead of a traditional interlocking armor, it utilizes a stainless steel coil technology.  This allows for the cable to remain extremely flexible while also being crush and rodent resistant.  Micro Armor Fiber™ features the smallest outer diameter compared to conventional armored fiber optic cable in size and flexibility.  Its light weight and great flexibility makes pulling and installation faster and easier.  These assemblies are typically up to 65 percent smaller in diameter and 75 percent lighter than the traditional aluminum interlocking armor cable.  These assemblies provide a perfect combination of strong armor and maximum bend radius. 

Choosing a direct burial rated jacket helps save time and money in outdoor applications where conduit is necessary, or in industrial environments which require extra protection. Although this option is priced higher than standard indoor/outdoor distribution cable that needs to be ran inside conduit, it outweighs its overall price when compared the cost of purchasing conduit and then having to pull the cable through it.  This outdoor (OSP) armored cable has a heavy duty polyethylene (PE) UV and water proof jacket and water blocking aramid yarn strength members surrounding the fiber optic strands. 

Our pre-terminated fiber optic assemblies are perfect for headend termination to a fiber backbone and intra-building backbones. It's perfect for trenches or underground installation where rodent chew damage is a concern, overhead lashed to a guy wire, or secured to a building or other permanent outdoor structure. The drawback of outdoor (OSP) cable is that it is mandated at a maximum of 50 feet run indoors due to fire-code regulations.

Standard QuickTreX® Manufacturing Features:

  • Fast Custom ISO 9001 Certified Manufacturing in the USA. 2-millimeter color coded or sequentially labeled furcation tubing is installed on each strand for easy identification and extra durability before, during, and after the pull.
  • Heat shrink tubing and glue set is used at the transition from the jacket to the furcation tubing providing superior strength and strain relief while pulling the assembly.
  • Connectors inside the basket are staggered for less bulk and more flexibility.
  • Each connector is individually plastic wrapped to prevent contamination by pulling lubricants and/or other contaminants.
  • Each assembly includes a wrap around-label on both ends of the assembly which will include the QuickTreX® part number and individual serial number. 
  • Each Assembly includes a full test report. During our testing process all fiber ends are visually inspected with a fiberscope of 400 power or better for surface defects including, cracking, pitting, and scratches, on the glass surface of the connector. All connector ends are then tested utilizing a professional grade Loss Test Set.
  • The test report is saved in our database for 1 year and can be requested at any time.
  • Pulling Eyes (pulling baskets) if equipped are made from super strong polyethylene mesh and feature a free-spinning buckle to eliminate twisting of the cable during the pull. Heat shrink tubing is used at: 
       1. Where the basket meets with the turnbuckle (pull eye hook)
       2. Where the basket ends and connects with the cable jacket to prevent snags and promote a smooth pull. 

Note: All assemblies 100ft and over will be placed on a spool for easy deployment of cable. Assemblies under 100ft will be neatly air spooled.

I have used LanShack for custom pre-terminated fiber assemblies for a couple of years now. The quality of the product is top notch. Setting up a new building and ordered this 1200' to connect 2 buildings together. Great termination quality. Zero issues installing and connecting. Connection lit from the start. Thank you very much.
