Indoor Cable Assemblies
Clearfield® indoor cable assemblies are used to connect different elements in the data center cabling system infrastructure and for central office applications. They can be used in cabinet to-cabinet connections or to connect functional elements. These high-density, low-loss cable assemblies can be used in horizontal cabling, backbone cabling, cross-connects and equipment outlets.
Product Details
Clearfield indoor cables utilize 200 or 250μm bend-insensitive fibers inside 2mm or 3mm sub-units and a wide range of fiber counts in multimode and singlemode fiber types (OM4 and OS2). Cables can be provided with low-loss MPO, very small form factor (VSFF) connectors or standard LC or SC connectors on both ends, MPO-to-various connector breakouts and MPO pigtails. Singlemode and multimode fibers can be mixed within the cable, if required.
Features & Benefits
- Terminations are designed and tested to Telcordia GR-1435 and ANSI/TIA-568.3-D to ensure reliable long-term performance.
- Fiber bundles are individually jacketed in 2mm or 3mm sub-units, then provided an outer jacket for superior mechanical and environmental protection.
- Bend-insensitive fiber allows tighter cable bends for routing and slack storage.
- Cables, connectors and connector boots are color-coded per ANSI/TIA-568.3-D for easy identification and organization.
- Optional pulling eye kits are provided to protect cable ends and connectors during installation.
- Compact cable design saves space in the pathway and minimizes cable pile up.
- All assemblies are factory terminated and factory tested to ensure long-term consistent and reliable performance.
- Factory test results are included with each cable to support network documentation.
- Assemblies comply with ANSI/UL 1666 and UL 910 for Riser (OFNR) and Plenum (OFNP) applications to protect against flame propagation. Assemblies also carry the CE mark for CPR harmonization.
