Indoor/Outdoor Fibre Cabling

The Volition™ Network Solutions Indoor/Outdoor Fibre Cable from 3M includes horizontal and backbone fibre cable with either 50/125μm multimode, 62, 5/125μm multimode or 9/125μm single mode fibre as part of the system. The primary application of the cable is for indoor and outdoor installation into cable trays or ducts as LAN cabling. All cable jackets are LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated to fulfil the safety requirements for internal cabling.

All fibre cable variants have good resistance against water. The cable core is water blocked using a combination of swell able tape and gel filling inside the tubes. All fibre cables can be installed where there is a risk of having water filled ducts. Each category of fibre Cable is available in fibre counts ranging from 2-144 fibres. Additional construction variations are also available on request.
