FAQ

What is a tactical fiber optic cable?

A tactical fiber optic cable is a ruggedized cable designed for use in harsh environments where traditional cables would be too fragile. The PU jacket and internal armor provide added protection against impact, abrasion, and chemicals.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the PU outer jacket is highly resistant to moisture, UV exposure, and temperature changes, making it ideal for outdoor as well as indoor deployments.

Can I request a custom length?

Yes, lengths can be specified from 6 inches up to 30 meters for patch cable use. For longer installations (up to 5000 feet), see our fiber trunk cable product categories.

What’s the difference between UPC and APC polish?

UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) is a flat polish typically used in standard singlemode applications. APC (Angled Physical Contact) uses an 8° angle on the fiber endface, reducing back reflection and making it ideal for RF video and high-precision optical applications.

Are these cables tested before shipping?

Absolutely. Every cable is individually tested for insertion and return loss and includes printed test results. Each cable is also individually serialized for easy tracking and documentation.
