Optical Cable Corp. DX012DSLX9KAA2 12-fiber Sm Outdoor Cable

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. DX012DSLX9KAA2 is a 12-fiber single-mode outdoor fiber optic cable featuring a double-armor construction. This cable is engineered for exterior and underground installations where physical protection against crushing, rodents, and environmental stress is required. The double-armor jacket provides a significant upgrade in mechanical durability over standard outdoor cables. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling technicians typically specify this product for runs that exit a building, cross a campus, or enter conduit exposed to rugged conditions.

This cable is suited for commercial and industrial fiber infrastructure projects where single-mode transmission and outdoor-rated, double-armored protection are specified together. Typical applications include campus backbone runs, utility interconnects, and any installation where the cable will be exposed to mechanical abuse, moisture, or ground burial. It ships as a single unit (sold per each).

Key Features

• 12-fiber count supports high-density single-mode transmission infrastructure
• Single-mode glass for long-distance, low-attenuation signal runs
• Double-armor construction provides enhanced crush and rodent resistance
• Outdoor-rated design built to withstand moisture, UV exposure, and temperature cycling
• Sold as a single unit for flexible project procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an outdoor-rated, double-armored single-mode fiber optic cable for use in commercial and industrial fiber backbone installations requiring ruggedized exterior protection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or structured cabling technician in accordance with applicable codes, including TIA-568 and local jurisdictional requirements. Power to any active equipment connected to the fiber path should be shut down before terminating or splicing. Avoid exceeding the cable minimum bend radius during pulling and routing to prevent fiber stress. Double-armor cable requires appropriate armor-rated termination tools and practices at each end.
