XU radiation resistant cable

Features

  • Number of optical fibers: max. 12.
  • Cut-resistant, flame-retardant outer jacket.
  • Flexible cable, reusable.
  • Waterproof, UV resistant.

Applications

XU cables can be used during installation in extreme environmental conditions. Highly resistant cables to repeated stresses, even in adverse conditions. They are used in high traffic areas, security systems, sensor lines, video camera systems, temporary installations, critical communication lines where quick recovery and reuse is required.

  • Outer sheath: polyurethane.
  • Aramid fibers provide high strength.
  • Optical fibers: flame retardant, tight buffer.
  • Operating Temperature:          -46 C° / +85 C°.
  • Installation temperature:         -20 C° / +70 C°.
  • Storage temperature:              -57 C° / +85 C°.
