Questions & Answers

Q
Does interlocking armor add significant weight to the cable for vertical or overhead runs?
A
The armor adds some weight compared to standard indoor cables, but it’s still manageable for overhead trays and vertical risers when properly supported.
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 do higher strand count assemblies improve cable management?
A
Higher strand assemblies (above 36 strands) are sub-unitized, meaning the fibers are divided into smaller groups. This structure makes it easier to identify and access strands during repairs or modifications, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance.
Q
How do I protect pre-terminated fiber assemblies during installation?
A
Avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling, and physical impacts to prevent damage to the fibers and connectors.
Q
How do I store pre-terminated fiber assemblies before installation?
A
Store them in a clean, dry environment, on the spool that it come on and keep the connectors protected with dust caps.
