Description
DX-Series Distribution – Corrugated Steel Tape (CST) Armored Cables
Installation zone RECOMMENDATION
DX-Series Distribution Cable series with corrugated steel tape (CST) armoring. Ideal for installation where direct burial or rodent protection is required. The steel-armor is easily removed with an internal ripcord, leaving a fully functional intact DX-Series Distribution riser-rated inner cable with original cable marking for identification.

DISTRIBUTION SERIES FIBER OPTIC CABLE TYPE OFNR RISER PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
Applications
- Indoor/Outdoor tight-bound tight-buffered design allows cables to be installed in intra-building campus locations without costly transitions between cable types
- Ideal configuration for a single termination point reguiring multiple fibers
Features
- High performance components and construction
- Cable materials are Indoor/Outdoor UL-listed OFNR and UV, water and fungus resistant
- UL Listed in accordance with NEC section 770.179 (b) for use in vertical runs in building riser shafts or from floor to floor
- Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C
- Helically stranded core for greater flexibility and mechanical protection of the optical fibers
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- 2-144 fiber configuration is smaller and lighter than comparable sub-grouped cables, which is ideal for installation in areas with limited space or tight bends
- Can be armored for additional protection in direct burial and aerial installations
- Interlocking armor can be applied to cables as an alternative to conduit installation
Cost savings
- 900 µm buffer eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming installation of fanout kits or pigtail splices because connectors terminate directly to the fiber
- No need to splice Outdoor cable to Indoor cable at building entrance
- High crush resistance may eliminate the need for innerduct
