12 Strand Outdoor (OSP) Direct Burial Ultra Thin Micro Armored Singlemode Fiber Optic Cable by the Foot with Corning® Glass

Our Fiber-By-Foot is in stock and ready to cut to your exact length.

Our Outdoor (OSP) Direct Burial Rated Ultra Thin Armored Fiber Optic Cable utilizes 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.  This cable provides 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.
