The cable “assemblies are tested and verified to meet standards including IEC 61754-7 and EIA/TIA-604-5 (FOCIS 5), which specify a connector’s physical attributes as well as performance, and ensure inter-mating across all complying cables and connectors”, according to the company.
Armour in the cable is stainless steel, over-wrapped with Kevlar. The company claims that it is 75% smaller and 65% lighter compared with conventional ‘aluminium interlock armor’ (AIA).
Its 12 core OS2-12 is 5.5mm in diameter and weighs 22.3kg/100m (based on 300feet at 45lbs).
The assemblies, and Senko MPO connectors, are available now in North America, with stock scheduled for EMEA and APAC later this year.
