Overview of Tactical & Rugged Deployable Fiber Optic Assemblies

Tactical and rugged deployable fiber optic assemblies are lightweight, flexible, and impact-resistant, making them ideal for field deployments and mobile network setups. They feature tactical-grade jacketing that is crush-resistant and highly flexible for rapid deployment and retrieval. These assemblies are commonly used in military, broadcasting, and emergency response operations where quick and reliable network setup is crucial.

Overview of Loose Tube (OSP) Fiber Optic Assemblies

Loose tube outside plant (OSP) fiber optic assemblies are designed for long-distance outdoor installations. They feature water-blocking gel and buffer tubes to protect against moisture and temperature fluctuations, making them suitable for underground conduit installations and aerial deployments. These assemblies provide high-performance optical transmission while ensuring long-term durability in outdoor environments.

Overview of Gel-Filled (OSP) Fiber Optic Assemblies

Gel-filled OSP fiber optic assemblies are specifically engineered for wet environments, offering superior moisture resistance. The gel-filled buffer tubes prevent water ingress and provide enhanced protection in flooded conduit applications, direct burial, and outdoor telecommunications networks. These assemblies are ideal for harsh environments where exposure to water, humidity, and extreme weather is a concern.

Overview of Armored Direct Burial Fiber Optic Assemblies

Armored direct burial fiber optic assemblies are built for underground installations without the need for additional conduit protection. Their heavy-duty armored construction safeguards against rodents, crushing forces, and soil movement, ensuring long-term durability and reliability. These assemblies are commonly used in industrial, utility, and long-haul network applications where fiber must be buried directly underground.

Overview of Aerial with Messenger Fiber Optic Assemblies

Aerial fiber optic assemblies with messenger wire are designed for overhead installations, providing structural support and stability in pole-to-pole deployments. The built-in steel or dielectric messenger reinforces the cable for wind and tension resistance, making these assemblies ideal for rural broadband networks, utility infrastructures, and campus-wide fiber installations.

FAQ

What makes tactical fiber optic cable different from standard fiber optic cable?

Tactical fiber optic cable is designed for extreme durability and flexibility, featuring a ruggedized jacket that is crush-resistant, lightweight, and easy to deploy. These cables are commonly used in military, emergency response, and field applications where frequent setup and takedown are required.

How does gel-filled OSP fiber protect against moisture?

Gel-filled OSP fiber optic cables contain water-blocking gel inside the buffer tubes, which prevents water from entering the cable and damaging the fibers. This design makes them highly resistant to moisture and ideal for wet, underground, or flood-prone environments.

When should I use armored direct burial fiber optic cable?

Armored direct burial fiber is best used when fiber needs to be buried underground without conduit. The armored layer protects against crushing, rodent damage, and soil movement, making it ideal for long-term outdoor installations.

What are the benefits of aerial fiber optic assemblies with messenger wire?

Aerial fiber assemblies with messenger wire provide added strength and stability for pole-mounted fiber installations. The messenger wire helps support the cable’s weight and protects against wind, ice, and mechanical stress in overhead fiber deployments.

Our tactical, rugged, and harsh environment fiber optic assemblies are built for reliable performance in challenging conditions, ensuring high-speed, durable connectivity where it matters most.
