A-DQ(ZN)B2Y Fiber Optic Cable OM3

Description

The A-DQ(ZN)B2Y ITU-T OM3 multimode fiber optic cable is designed for outdoor and infrastructure applications where reliable optical performance, mechanical robustness and long life are essential. The cable is suitable for installation in ducts and conduits, including routes with multiple cables.

Thanks to its loose-tube construction, water-blocking construction and PE outer jacket, this fiber-optic cable offers stable operation under a variety of environmental conditions and mechanical stresses.

Key features:

• Multimode fiber according to ITU-T OM3
• Loose-tube construction with 12 or 24 fibers per tube, filled with thixotropic gel
• Available from 4 to 48 fibers
• Central strain relief in fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP)
• Metal-free reinforcement with glass yarns
• Longitudinally waterproof due to dry water blocking materials
• Outer jacket in PE (polyethylene), black color
• Maximum tensile force during installation: 1,500 N or 3,000 N (depending on number of fibers)
• Crush resistance: 1,500 N, 2,000 N or 3,000 N (depending on number of fibers)
• Minimum bending radius:
  • 20× cable diameter (under tensile load)
  • 10× cable diameter (without tensile load)

Optical performance (ITU-T OM3):

• Attenuation @850 nm: ≤ 3.0 dB/km
• Attenuation @1300 nm: ≤ 1.5 dB/km
• Bandwidth @850 nm: 1,500 MHz*km
• Bandwidth @1300 nm: 500 MHz*km

Suitable for long-distance and backbone connections

Installation options:

• Installation in tube and pipe systems
• Suitable for outdoor networks
• Multicable installations in infrastructure routes
• Designed for fixed installation

Typical applications:

• Fiber optic backbones
