AFOP - Armoured Fiber Optic Patchcord: Description

The document describes armored fiber optic patchcords produced by OPTOKON. The patchcords feature a micro diameter armored flexible tube encased in stainless steel to protect the optical fiber from damage. This unique design allows for easier installation while reducing return loss and extending the fiber lifespan. The patchcords are available with various connector types for multimode or singlemode fiber in lengths from 0.5 to several meters. Sample products highlighted include singlemode pigtails with FC, LC, and SC connectors that are 2 meters long.

AFOP - Armoured Fiber Optic Patchcord


Description:
The OPTOKON Armoured Fiber Optic Patchcord enables easy handling and installation in a similar
way to standard electrical cable. This most recent version of the Armoured Fiber Optic Patchcord differs
from the traditional product due to the development of a micro diameter armoured flexible tube
encased in stainless steel in order to prevent optical fiber from being easily destroyed or broken and
also comes with the option of a flame resistant PVC coating. This unique design ensures an easier
construction process therefore reducing the return loss and extending the life span of the optical fiber.

Features:
 Strong safeguard of optical fibers due to use of
stainless steel material.
 High tensile strength, pressure resistant, re-
twist resistance, rodent protected.
 Easy handling similar to electrical cable and
USC-ACB SM-P-002 easy installation.
