Armored MPO cable assemblies with 8, 12, and 24 fibers feature our exclusive SteelPatch or SteelFlex armor, consisting 0f specialized steel-tube jacketing developed to increase cable strength and reliability. The US military relies on tactical fiber optic cables for its communication systems because they are exceptionally durable and can withstand significant abuse without failing. However, if you are not in the military, it is difficult to find fiber optic cables that are built to last even half as long as military grade fiber optic cables. SteelFlex Armored Tactical Fiber Optic Cables from OptoSpan are made of the same materials as those used by the United States military and are available for commercial use. OptoSpan’s SteelFlex Armored fiber cables are extensively used by the US military and large defense contractors such as Raytheon and Lockheed Martin!

STEELPATCH ARMORED MPO-MPO TRUNK CONFIGURATIONS:

SteelPatch armor is constructed from military grade steel which is then molded around the internal fibers in a helical form. This creates a cable up to 7x stronger than standard jacketing yet remains fully flexible and lightweight.

SteelPatch Armored Fiber cables with high performance MPO connectors are designed to deliver fast reliable communications in areas previously believed to be too hazardous, or inappropriate for fiber optic deployment.
