Breakout Fiber Cable | Marine & Offshore LSZH FR Optical Cable

Offshore Instrumentation and Signal Cable IEC 60092-Series Cables
Description

Product Overview

Our Breakout Fiber Cables are specifically engineered for reliable data transmission in marine and offshore environments. Featuring a robust breakout construction with semi-tight buffered fibers and LSZH materials, these cables provide enhanced safety and flexibility for shipboard applications where low smoke, halogen-free, and flame retardant properties are essential.

Key Features

  • Marine Safety Certified: LSZH Flame Retardant construction

  • Breakout Design: Individual subcable protection for easy termination

  • Flexible Installation: Suitable for on and below deck applications

  • Robust Protection: Aramid strain relief elements

  • Wide Temperature Range: -20℃ to +80℃ operation

  • Oil Resistant: Suitable for areas without constant exposure to oil and lubricants

Applications

  • Data transmission systems on commercial ships

  • Cruise ship communication networks

  • On and below deck installations
