Questions & Answers

Q
Can these cables be run indoors?
A
Polyethylene (PE) OSP cables are limited to a maximum of 50 feet indoors due to fire code restrictions. Longer indoor runs require plenum or riser-rated cables.
Q
Can I combine multiple assemblies if I need a longer run?
A
Yes, you can couple multiple pre-terminated fiber assemblies using adapter panels or adapters (aka couplers) and patch panels to extend your fiber run.
Q
How are these assemblies installed?
A
These pre-terminated assemblies are designed for plug-and-play installation. They come with factory-installed connectors and protective pulling eyes, allowing for easy deployment without the need for on-site fiber termination.
Q
How does ISO9001-certified manufacturing impact assembly reliability?
A
ISO9001-certified processes ensure consistent quality, thorough testing, and traceable documentation, giving confidence that each assembly meets strict performance and reliability standards.
Q
What is plenum rated?
A
A cable is "plenum rated" when it meets specific fire safety requirements for installation in plenum spaces—these are air-handling areas typically found above suspended ceilings or under raised floors, used to circulate air in buildings. Plenum-rated cables are designed to minimize the spread of flames and toxic fumes in case of a fire, emitting low smoke and toxicity.
