In Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) installations, high-density data centers, and compact industrial equipment, we often face a dilemma: we need robust protection for reliability, but we must also maintain small cable size and flexibility for ease of routing.
This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://www.ofscn.org/encyclopedia/458-strong-02-01.html
In high-density environments like FTTH and data centers, the challenge is indeed balancing physical protection with space constraints. Standard fiber patch cords often lack the mechanical strength to resist crushing or accidental damage, while traditional armored cables are typically too bulky.
The OFSCN® 2.0mm Micro Steel Armored Fiber Optic Patch Cord is specifically designed to solve this problem. It integrates a 0.6mm stainless steel seamless tube directly into a compact 2.0mm profile.
Technical Advantages:
- High Compression Resistance: Despite its small diameter, it offers an anti-pressure strength of over 240 MPa, protecting the internal fiber from being crushed in tight trays or under heavy equipment.
- Tensile Strength: It supports a pulling force of over 150 N, significantly higher than standard PVC-jacketed jumpers.
- Seamless Protection: The internal 0.6mm stainless steel tube provides a continuous barrier against rodents and mechanical abrasion without sacrificing flexibility.
Product Specifications:
- Diameter: 2.0mm (Default)
- Structure: Fiber Connector + PVC Jacket + 0.6mm Stainless Steel Seamless Tube + Optical Fiber.
- Fiber Type: Default is OFSCN® G.652D Optical Fiber (Single-mode), with Multi-mode or PM fiber options available.
- Operating Temperature: -40°C to +75°C.
Product Visuals:
For industrial environments requiring even higher tensile strength (up to 1500N), we also provide the
OFSCN® 2.0mm Steel Wire Rope Fiber Optic Patch Cord, which utilizes a galvanized steel wire strand structure.
