Quantum FO Cable Unarmored Dual Jacket, Indoor/Outdoor (Direct Burial) MM OM3 50/125

N1120.n2IODBURHEB

The Quantum FO Cable, Unarmored Dual Jacket Indoor/Outdoor (Direct Burial) MM OM3 50/125 is a high-performance fiber optic cable designed for reliable, high-speed data transmission in demanding environments. Featuring OM3 multimode technology, it supports Gigabit and 10G Ethernet applications. The cable’s dual-jacketed construction includes a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) inner sheath for fire safety and a UV-resistant, rodent-resistant HDPE outer jacket for durability in both indoor and outdoor installations, including direct burial. Its loose-tube design with water-blocking yarn and glass yarn ensures moisture resistance and mechanical strength, making it ideal for backbone networks, campus installations, and data center connectivity. Compliant with IEC 60794 and IEC 60793 standards, it provides high bandwidth and robust environmental protection.

  • OM3 Multimode (50/125μm) : Supports high-speed data transmission for Gigabit and 10G Ethernet applications.
  • Unarmored Dual-Jacketed Design : Provides enhanced protection while maintaining flexibility for diverse installations.
  • LSZH Inner Jacket : Ensures low smoke and zero halogen emissions for safer indoor applications.
