Armored Fiber

Armored Fiber Optic Cable, sometimes referred to as MC Fiber Cable or BX Fiber Cable, is optimized to protect your fiber cable, avoiding any and all unnecessary network downtime as a result of outside interferences. In this modern day and age, the consequences of light attenuation, which could occur throughout your fiber installation, are costly and time-consuming matters. Why not protect your cables from the start?

Armored cabling offers your network an added layer of protection. Fiber Savvy offers armored fiber cables with two different types of armor: standard corrugated steel armored cable and aluminum interlocking armored distribution cable. Standard corrugated steel armored fiber is quintessential in rugged direct burial applications where exceptional durability, moisture, and rodent protection are crucial components. Conversely, our aluminum interlocking armored fiber offers you the same protection, only with greater flexibility when it comes to installation.

Whatever your need is, we have the solution.

Fire Rated Armored Fiber Cable

Plenum Armored Fiber Cable is our most popular choice for its versatility and can be used in riser or general-purpose applications as well. The MC cable is tough and durable to ensure that rodents can't chew through to the fiber. Featuring Corning® glass, the fiber optic cables protected within are OFCP rated and contain tight buffered fibers with aramid yarn strength members. Plenum fiber is also safer than other cable jacket types because of its resistance to flame and low smoke.

Riser Armored Fiber Cable is the perfect option for multi-story building applications; this cable performs ideally in high traffic areas and in between floors requiring mechanical protection. The BX Cable features helically wrapped interlocking aluminum armor to protect them from damage and other outside obstructions.

Both Plenum and Riser jackets meet National Electric Code (NEC) standards. To find out more about jacket fire ratings, check out our blog on Fiber Optic Cable Jackets.

Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable

For outdoor applications, employ Fiber Savvy’s Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable to achieve a clean and simple outdoor installation, free of harm caused by rodents or any further intrusions. With armoring constructed from corrugated steel, you can rest assured, knowing that you have the proper shielding when harsher conditions arise. As a final note, these fiber cables are available in 2 to 144 strand options.
