FAQ

What is interlocking armored fiber optic cable?

It’s a standard fiber distribution cable enclosed in a spiral-wrapped aluminum armor, offering physical protection while maintaining flexibility. It’s ideal for environments where conduit isn’t used but mechanical protection is still needed.

Can I buy only the length I need?

Yes! This product is sold by the foot, and we will cut it to your requested length—from 10 to 5000 feet. This helps reduce waste and simplifies your material planning.

Is this cable plenum rated?

Yes. The outer jacket is plenum-rated, meaning it meets the fire-resistance and low-smoke standards set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for use in air handling spaces and other indoor environments.

Does this cable include pulling eyes?

Pulling eyes are optional and can be added to your order. They provide a convenient way to pull the cable through pathways or risers during installation.

Is this cable available preterminated?
