ERSTICKT 100M Outdoor Armored LC-LC Fiber Cable – 4-Core OS2, TPU Jacket, Direct Burial

Overview

Meet ERSTICKT’s 100M Outdoor Armored LC-LC Fiber Cable, engineered for demanding outdoor and industrial networks. This 4-core OS2 single-mode patch cord blends high-speed performance with rugged protection, making it ideal for long runs between buildings, remote sites, or harsh field environments.

Rugged durability for tough environments

The cable features a dual-layer armor system paired with a robust TPU jacket. Stainless steel mesh and metal spiral armor guard against crush and pull forces, while fiberglass yarns reinforce the structure. The 5.0 mm jacket resists water, UV exposure, and chemicals and operates across -40°C to +80°C, whether buried, routed in conduit, or suspended outdoors.

• Crush resistance up to 3000N and tensile strength up to 600N help maintain integrity during installation and service life.
• The breakout design uses 3.0 mm legs for clean routing through trays and conduits, simplifying field work.

High-performance fiber for long-haul links

Inside, bend-insensitive OS2 G.657.A2 fiber (9/125 μm) supports 1310 nm and 1550 nm transmission with low insertion loss and strong return loss. In favorable conditions, the cable can carry high data rates for demanding backhaul or backbone roles.

• Insertion loss ≤ 0.15 dB and return loss ≥ 55 dB help preserve signal quality over distance.
• Four fibers can be used as four simplex links or reconfigured into two duplex paths for flexible network topology.

Plug-and-play deployment

Factory-terminated LC UPC to LC UPC connectors enable quick plug-and-play installation with no splicing required. The four-fiber breakout with a 3.0 mm leg diameter simplifies routing to switches, transceivers, patch panels, or media converters.

Versatile installation options

Designed for direct burial, conduit routing, or aerial installations, this cable supports a wide range of indoor/outdoor layouts—from data centers to remote industrial sites.
