Outdoor Armored 12-core Optical Fiber Cable
Product Overview
The Outdoor Armored 12-core Optical Fiber Cable is a high-performance communication cable engineered for harsh outdoor environments. Featuring a rugged armored layer and 12 optical fiber cores, it delivers reliable, high-bandwidth signal transmission across long distances while withstanding mechanical stress, moisture, and temperature extremes. Whether you're building a campus network, a metropolitan fiber backbone, or an industrial communication system, this cable ensures stable, low-loss data transmission where ordinary cables fail.
Built with a corrugated steel tape armor and a UV-resistant outer jacket, this cable is designed to survive the toughest installation conditions - from direct burial underground to aerial deployment in freezing or scorching climates. The 12-core configuration offers ample capacity for network expansion, allowing you to route multiple data streams through a single cable run, reducing material and labor costs simultaneously.
Product Applications
Telecommunication Networks: Ideal for long-haul and metropolitan area network (MAN) deployments requiring high-capacity data transmission.
Campus & Enterprise Networks: Connects multiple buildings across large campuses with dependable fiber backbone links.
Industrial Automation: Supports mission-critical communication in factories, power plants, and oil & gas facilities where EMI resistance is essential.
CATV & Broadband Systems: Carries high-speed broadband and cable TV signals over extended outdoor runs.
Transportation Infrastructure: Used in highway, railway, and tunnel communication systems for traffic monitoring and control.
Security & Surveillance: Powers outdoor CCTV and access control networks with stable, high-speed connectivity.
Product Advantages
Heavy-Duty Armored Protection: The corrugated steel tape armor provides superior crush resistance and rodent protection, eliminating the need for additional conduit in many installations.
Weatherproof & UV-Resistant Jacket: The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) or PE outer jacket resists UV radiation, moisture, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to +70°C), ensuring long service life in outdoor conditions.
Low Attenuation & High Bandwidth: Premium single-mode (9/125μm) or multimode (50/125μm, 62.5/125μm) fibers deliver low signal loss and support high-speed data rates over long distances.
Gel-Filled or Dry Water-Blocking Design: Water-blocking compound fills interstices to prevent moisture ingress, protecting fibers from water damage in underground or aerial installations.
Easy Installation & Splicing: The cable's compact, lightweight design simplifies pulling, termination, and fusion splicing, reducing installation time and labor costs.
RoHS & IEC Compliant: Manufactured to meet international standards including IEC 60794, ITU-T G.652, and RoHS directives for global market compliance.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between armored and unarmored fiber cable?
A: Armored cable includes an additional steel tape or steel wire layer beneath the outer jacket, providing mechanical protection against crushing, impact, and rodent damage. Unarmored cable lacks this layer and is typically used in indoor or protected environments. For outdoor or direct-burial installations, armored cable is strongly recommended.
Q2: Can this cable be used for direct burial?
A: Yes. The armored construction and water-blocking design make this cable suitable for direct burial without additional conduit. The corrugated steel armor shields fibers from soil pressure, rocks, and rodent activity. However, always verify local regulations and recommended burial depth (typically 0.6–1.0m) for your specific project and soil conditions.
Q3: What fiber types are available for the 12-core configuration?
A: We offer single-mode (G.652D, G.657A) and multimode (OM2 50/125μm, OM1 62.5/125μm) options. Single-mode is preferred for long-distance transmission, while multimode is ideal for shorter, high-bandwidth campus links. Contact us to customize the fiber type to your network requirements.
Q4: What is the operating temperature range?
A: The cable operates reliably from -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F). The armored jacket and gel-filled core maintain fiber integrity across freeze-thaw cycles and extreme heat, making it suitable for deployment in nearly any climate.
Q5: Do you provide customization and bulk pricing?
A: Absolutely. We support custom jacket colors, fiber counts, armor types (steel tape or steel wire), and cut lengths to match your project specs. Bulk order discounts, OEM branding, and kitted solutions (pre-terminated or labeled) are available - contact our sales team for a tailored quote and lead-time estimate.
