Outdoor fiber optic cable OS2 DAC for direct burial, orange SM 12J 9/125 G652D Fca PE ALANTEC FOK-D12J-SM

Robust fiber optic cable for direct burial

This orange OS2 fiber optic cable, designed for direct burial, is a robust solution for extensive telecommunication networks. Manufactured by ALANTEC, it features high resistance to mechanical damage and weathering, making it an ideal choice for outdoor installations. The cable is particularly recommended for locations not exposed to direct impact but requiring reliable and durable connections.

Construction and protection

The key to the cable's durability is its construction. A glass fiber wrap and two FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rods embedded in the outer jacket provide high crush resistance. The cable interior is filled with a hydrophobic gel that protects the fibers from moisture. An additional layer of glass fiber provides a barrier against rodents, minimizing the risk of cable damage. The outer polyethylene (PE) jacket is resistant to UV radiation, acids, alcohols, gasoline, and salt solutions – guaranteeing long-term operation even in harsh environmental conditions.

Transmission parameters and application

The cable utilizes 9/125 μm single-mode optical fibers of type G.652D OS2, providing high transmission parameters and minimal signal dispersion. This makes it ideal for transmitting data over long distances in telecommunication networks, CATV, WAN, and FTTx. A loose central tube with optical fibers provides flexibility and ease of installation. Length markings every 1 meter facilitate precise cutting and adaptation of the cable to installation needs. Twelve fibers inside the cable allow for the construction of extensive networks or providing redundancy of connections. Euroclass Fca indicates that the cable is flammable and suitable for use in buildings without specific fire safety requirements and in outdoor installations.
