 CommScope indoor/outdoor tight buffer cables are designed to meet the rigors of outside
plant while allowing for direct connectorization of the individual fibers, yet meet the National Electric Code/Canadian Electric Code (NEC/CEC) requirement of Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser (OFNR).
CommScope indoor/outdoor loose tube cables are a unique design - they are made to withstand the typical rigors of the outside plant environment (the buffer tubes are filled with a compound that blocks moisture flow while protecting the fiber), yet are made of materials that permit them to meet OFNR and OFNP requirements.
Indoor/outdoor cables allow a cable to be run from outside a building to the inside without changing cable types, thus avoiding the extra time and labor of an additional splice point. Their riser or plenum listing makes this possible.
Another technical achievement in CommScope’s indoor/outdoor cables is the use of our ARID-CORE® dry water-blocking technology. Once exposed to moisture, ARID-CORE rapidly swells to form a gel that stops water penetration. The result is a craft-friendly cable that reduces termination time, effort and cost. We offer several constructions, which include:
