Durability

DuPont™ Kevlar® is used as a key strength member for a range of indoor applications—helping to enable cables to be pulled, bent and easily installed while keeping their critical optical fibers protected.

Indoor Aplications

Simplex cables

A single fiber, tight buffered with aramid fiber strength members, typically used for patch cords and backbone applications.

Breakout fiber cables

Composed of several simplex cables bundled together, ideal for direct termination without extra hardware, especially in rugged or high-stress installations.

Duplex fiber cable

Two optical fibers side by side, commonly used for desktop connections and applications requiring signal transmission between two fibers.

Ribbon fiber cable

Multiple fibers laid side by side in a single jacket, preferred for high fiber counts and small diameter cables in data centers and network applications.

Distribution fiber cable

A compact, lightweight indoor cable ideal for short runs in conduits, riser or plenum spaces, often requiring breakout boxes for termination.

Indoor/Outdoor tight-buffered fiber cable

A versatile cable with flexible connectors and simple termination for both indoor and outdoor environments, available in riser and plenum-rated versions

LSZH fiber cables

Low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) fiber cables are slow to ignite and designed to reduce toxic fumes and smoke in case of fire, making them safer for use in confined indoor spaces

DuPont™ Kevlar® offers the tensile strength, protection against environmental elements and flexibility to withstand harsh conditions and maintain performance across long distances.

Outdoor Aplications

Loose-tube cables

Ideal for outdoor plant trunks due to their high fiber count, moisture protection and ability to withstand high pulling tensions, commonly used for splicing and protecting fibers in harsh environments.

Self-supporting cable

DuPont™ Kevlar® enables crucial tensile strength, helps reduce sag and ensures stability in harsh weather conditions.

Aerial cables
