SteelFlex-IP68
Armored, Heavy Crush Loads
This IP68-rated harsh environment cable is based on OptoSpan's SteelFlex Armored design, has a robust OptoLock mechanism for outdoor use with or without conduit, and is rodent-proof.
SteelFlex Armored Cables with IP68 Bayonet Industrial Connectors are constructed with stainless steel metal tubes held together by overlapping steel connections for maximum durability.
Equipped with superior impact resistance, these cables can withstand harsh temperatures,
rain, and snow, making them perfect for outdoor fiber optic applications requiring
absolute waterproofing.
Built to last, these military-grade harsh environment fiber optic cables provide the perfect solution for interconnections that require flexibility outside of rigid conduits.
Due to the steel armor that protects the contained fibers, these cables can survive even the harshest operational conditions, including continual bending, water exposure, and rodent attacks, making them a great choice for mission-critical networks in data centers across all industries.
These cables are the most flexible and impact resistant of the three IP68 series cables. Ideal for outdoor and indoor use up to 300 meters in distance.
