Belden Inc. Outdoor, OM4, Central Loose-Tube, 2 Fibers, Steel Armor FS4C00260

The FS4C00260 is an outdoor OM4 fiber optic cable featuring a central loose-tube design with 2 fibers. It is constructed with a corrugated steel tape armor, providing enhanced protection against environmental factors and rodent damage. The fiber core diameter is 50/125 ¬µm, with a total fiber diameter of 250 ¬µm. This cable is suitable for extended distance horizontal and backbone data or telecommunications networks, particularly in noisy environments and wet locations. The cable's construction includes gel-filled waterblocking for subunits and a polyethylene outer jacket, which has a nominal diameter of 0.410 inches (10.4 mm) and is black in color. It has a minimum bend radius of 20 times the cable outer diameter during installation and 10 times during operation. The cable can withstand a maximum tensile strength of 2670 N (600 lbf) during installation and 800 N (180 lbf) during operation, with a crush resistance of 440 N/cm. Operating temperature ranges from -40¬8C to +70¬8C, making it suitable for various outdoor applications. The cable complies with ICEA S-87-640 and ANSI/ICEA S-87-640 standards, ensuring its reliability in outdoor and burial applications.
