Know before you buy
This cable is specifically engineered for outdoor tower deployments and exposed routing. While it features a durable, weather-resistant jacket, it is not rated for direct burial underground.
This patch cable is terminated with standard LC Male connectors on both ends, making it compatible with most modern SFP modules and networking hardware.
While you can technically use it indoors, it is designed for the rigors of outdoor environments. It is stiffer and more robust than standard indoor patch cords, which may make it more difficult to route through tight indoor spaces.
Yes, the cable is reinforced with Kevlar yarn, which provides the necessary tensile strength to withstand the tension often encountered during tower installations.
G.657.A2 is a bend-insensitive single-mode fiber standard. This means the cable can handle tighter bends than traditional fiber without significant signal loss, which is helpful when routing cables around tower structures.
