2 Strand Outdoor Armored Direct Burial Outside Plant Multimode 50/125 OM3 Assembly by QuickTreX®

The 2 Strand Outdoor Armored Direct Burial Outside Plant Multimode 50/125 OM3 Assembly is a high-performance fiber optic cable designed specifically for outdoor environments. With a Corning ALTOS® or CommScope LazrSPEED® 300 optical fiber, this 10-GIG OM3 multimode assembly ensures fast and reliable data transmission for a range of applications. The assembly is engineered to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, offering direct burial capabilities and superior protection from physical and environmental stress.

The armored design features a heavy-duty polyethylene (PE) jacket, corrugated steel tubing, and water-blocking swellable tape around the fiber optic strands, providing exceptional crush resistance and protection from rodent damage. These assemblies are perfect for permanent outdoor installations in campus backbones, industrial settings, headend terminations, and more.

Built for Your Application

This product line offers outdoor-rated, direct burial fiber assemblies that are ideal for permanent fiber optic network installations in environments that demand both durability and reliability. Whether you're looking for a solution for campus networks, industrial environments, or telecom infrastructure, these assemblies provide the rugged construction needed to ensure your network remains operational, even in the harshest conditions.

The direct burial-rated jacket eliminates the need for additional conduit, reducing installation costs and time. This feature is especially beneficial in outdoor settings where running conduit would be labor-intensive and costly. Additionally, the armored design offers protection against rodent damage, which is a major concern in buried installations.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Corning ALTOS® or CommScope LazrSPEED® 300 Optical Fiber: These fibers ensure 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-SR) performance for high-speed network connectivity, supporting high-bandwidth applications.

  • Heavy-Duty Armored Jacket: The armored construction with corrugated steel tubing provides crush resistance, protecting the cable from physical damage and rodent interference.

  • Direct Burial Rating: Suitable for direct burial without the need for additional conduit, reducing both installation time and cost.

  • Waterproof and UV-Resistant: The PE jacket offers superior UV and water resistance, ensuring long-term reliability in exposed outdoor environments.

  • Water-Blocking Technology: The use of swellable tape around the fibers prevents water infiltration, further enhancing the durability of the assembly in wet conditions.
