Indoor/outdoor fiber cable
Designed for all indoor and outdoor LAN applications, the FREEDM One plenum-rated cables features a tight-buffered construction, making it suitable for building, ..aerial and duct installations. The fully waterblocked dry-core cable with 900-µm buffered fiber can be terminated with standard field-installable connectors, and doesn't require fan-out kits, building entrance transition splices or rigid metallic conduit for routing through plenum-rated spaces.

No meshing around
CPD plastic mesh surrounds cabling in a 4×13/4-inch profile of protective flexible netting. For indoor installations, the mesh is designed to eliminate clutter and permit easy accessibility. For underground ..installation, the mesh provides a safeguard against excavating machinery and animals. The waterproof, corrosion-proof polypropylene material is non-conductive and crack-resistant.

Simplify test results
LinkWare Stats cable test analysis software works with LinkWare Cable Test Management Software to transform test data in graphical indicators of overall cable performance. The software provides statistical analysis and reporting beyond page-per-link reports, summarizing the entire cabling infrastructure so that a complete view of the performance can be determined. Daily results can be reviewed to make sure the installation is on track and that test margins are being met.

In-line splicing kit
The Hyreducer and Hysplice in-line reducing splice and butt splice kits are designed to provide better cable management solutions when splicing or reducing ..conductors with irreversible compression connectors. The kits provide an in-line reduction or splice of two conductors while keeping space requirements to a minimum. Both kits are packaged with a connector, length of heavy-duty heat-shrink tubing, and installation instructions. Heat-shrink tubing (in black or clear) meets Telcordia GR-347-CORE abrasion and cut test requirements. Inspection holes in the connectors let you know that the conductor has been fully inserted. All connectors are UL-listed.

DVI cable solution
For interconnecting devices with Digital Visual Interface (DVI) connectors, DVI-D cables are UL-listed and internally ..wired for dual-link, designed to enable higher picture resolution requirements of HDTV and QXGA. Its maximum bandwidth capability of 2×165 MHz is designed to transport uncompressed video signals from a DVI-equipped source to a DVI-equipped display. The cable supports a 24-bit data rate, which the manufacturer says guarantees razor-sharp images. Two layers of 125% aluminum/Mylar protect against higher frequency RFI, while a copper-braided shield fights lower frequency EMI. The PVC jacket has a UL CL2 certification.
