It is engineered for environments where cables face abrasion, crush, tension or rodent exposure yet must also meet fire-safety requirements. The assembly is factory-tested to industry loss and return-loss standards and is compatible with modern short-range multimode transceivers used in 10G, 25G, 40G and 100G links.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cable survive harsh environments?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable uses an internal shield of steel tape wrapped under an LSZH jacket, providing mechanical resistance to cuts, bites and compressive force while minimizing toxic smoke in case of fire.
