Indoor/Outdoor Tight-Buffered Fiber Cables

Click for indoor Cables

Indoor/Outdoor Tight Buffered cables are specified for campus network cabling between buildings where inter-building lengths are short enough that the installer can recognize savings from the lower costs of terminating tight buffered cables.

Compared with the bare fiber, the tight-buffered fiber is coded with an additional 900um layer over the 250um fibers for protection (as shown in the following picture). Tight-buffered distribution cable permits direct installation of connectors on the fibers rather than requiring the splicing, eliminating the splicing helps to improve the cable’s reliability.

The tight-buffered distribution cable comes in various fiber counts ranging from 2 to 144 fibers. Fiber types include OS2, OM1, OM2, OM3 and OM4 to meet different applications of single-mode or multimode cabling.
