888-568-1230Our Outdoor Armored Direct Burial (OSP-DB) Pre-Terminated Fiber Optic Cable Assemblies provide a highly durable and cost-effective solution for direct burial fiber optic installations without the need for additional conduit. These assemblies feature a corrugated steel armored design with a heavy-duty polyethylene (PE) outer jacket, offering exceptional protection against moisture, UV exposure, crushing, and rodent damage.
With a water-blocking tape and gel-free construction, these cables are optimized for underground installations, including campus fiber backbones, municipal networks, and industrial facilities. Unlike standard outdoor cables, these rugged assemblies can be buried directly into the ground without requiring an external protective casing, reducing installation time and cost.
These pre-terminated fiber optic assemblies are ideal for:
Fiber backbone connections in underground installations
Headend terminations for outdoor fiber networks
Secure fiber pathways in rodent-prone areas
Aerial installations when lashed to a guy wire
For applications where conduit is still required, a minimum 3” conduit with sweeping bends is recommended to accommodate the fiber cable’s breakout.
The OM1 multimode fiber assemblies provide a cost-effective solution for legacy multimode networks, supporting short-distance data transmission in commercial, municipal, and industrial applications. Their armored direct burial construction ensures long-lasting performance in underground and outdoor environments.
Designed for higher bandwidth and longer distances, OM3 multimode fiber assemblies support 10G Ethernet applications, making them ideal for data centers, healthcare facilities, and high-speed industrial networks. Their crush-resistant armored structure ensures reliable performance in demanding outdoor conditions.
Optimized for long-distance transmission, these singlemode fiber assemblies offer low attenuation and high-speed data transfer over vast distances. Their rugged armored construction makes them the preferred choice for telecommunications infrastructure, municipal fiber networks, and long-haul fiber deployments.
