Belden Inc. Outdoor Central Loose Tube OM1 2 Fibers Corrugated steel tape armour FS1C00260

The FS1C00260 is an Outdoor Central Loose Tube OM1 fiber optic cable featuring two fibers and a corrugated steel tape armor. It is designed for use in extended distance horizontal and backbone data or telecommunications networks, particularly in noisy environments and outdoor or wet locations. The cable is suitable for direct burial and is rodent-proof. This cable utilizes OM1 fiber with a core diameter of 62.5/125 ¬µm and has a total fiber diameter of 250 ¬µm. It is constructed with a gel-filled waterblocking subunit and features aramid yarns for strength. The outer jacket is made of polyethylene and has a nominal diameter of 0.410 inches (10.4 mm). Optical characteristics include a maximum attenuation of 3.25 dB/km at 850 nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300 nm, supporting 1 Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 300 meters and 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 33 meters. The cable can withstand a maximum tensile strength of 2670 N during installation and 800 N during operation, with a crush resistance of 440 N/cm. The operating temperature range is from -40¬8C to +70¬8C, making it suitable for various environmental conditions. Compliance with standards such as ANSI/ICEA S-87-640 ensures its reliability for outdoor applications.
