This Unitube Armoured Fibre Optic Cable solution is a compact and high-performance solution designed for small to medium-sized backbone and distribution networks in indoor and outdoor protected environments. Unlike the unarmoured variant, which is suited for low-risk indoor and protected pathways, this armoured design incorporates corrugated steel tape or steel wire reinforcement for dependable mechanical protection.
The Unitube Armoured Fibre Optic Cable Solution is available in three different construction types:
- Standard (non-armoured; for low-risk application)
- Corrugated steel type armoured (for medium-risk application)
- Steel wire armoured (for high-risk application)
As a Unitube Armoured Fibre Optic Cable Supplier in the UAE, this cable is a reliable and versatile choice to support modern fibre infrastructure as it combines performance, durability, and flexibility at a cost-effective price.
Features
- Multiple fibre types support: Compatible with OS2 single-mode and OM2-OM5 multimode fibres.
- Three robust protection options: Available in non-armoured, corrugated steel tape armoured, and steel wire armoured designs.
- Durability across environments: Delivers thermal stability and mechanical strength across –40°C to +70°C.
- Variety of customisation options: Offered with PE or LSZH jackets in multiple colours for identification and compliance.
- Flexible installation: Compact, lightweight unitube design enables easy handling and deployment in diverse pathways.
