Optical Cable Corp. DX006DSLA9KAA2 6-strand Armored Fiber Cable

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. DX006DSLA9KAA2 is a 6-strand corrugated steel armored fiber optic patch cable designed for installations requiring mechanical protection against crush forces, rodents, and physical impact. The corrugated steel armor layer surrounds the fiber bundle, providing a durable outer defense without sacrificing bend flexibility. This cable is suited for use in commercial, industrial, and campus network environments where standard unarmored patch cables would be at risk of damage. Installation is typically performed by structured cabling technicians and low-voltage contractors.

This armored fiber patch cable is intended for runs between fiber distribution panels, active equipment, and patch fields in areas with elevated physical hazard exposure. Common deployment scenarios include raised-floor data centers, exposed conduit pathways, manufacturing floors, and inter-building connections where cable trays or raceways do not provide full mechanical protection. The 6-strand configuration supports multi-channel fiber connections in a single cable assembly.

Key Features

• 6-strand fiber construction for multi-channel connectivity in a single assembly
• Corrugated steel armor layer provides crush resistance and rodent deterrence
• Flexible armor design maintains bend performance for routing in tight spaces
• Suited for high-physical-risk environments including industrial and data center installations
• Sold as a single unit (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style armored fiber patch cable for use with standard fiber optic distribution panels, enclosures, and active equipment accepting 6-strand fiber connectors. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or structured cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling and termination procedures. Power down or shut off active equipment connected to the fiber path before disconnecting or replacing patch cables to avoid signal disruption. Avoid exceeding the cable minimum bend radius during routing, as excessive bending can damage internal fibers even in armored designs. Follow applicable local codes and TIA-568 standards for fiber optic cabling installation.
