Outdoor Waterproof Fiber Patch Cord
The Outdoor Waterproof Fiber Patch Cord is an armored cable assembly with environmentally sealed connectors. It is designed for base station antennas, Remote Radio Units (RRU/RRH), and outdoor FTTH access points where resistance to rain, dust, and temperature extremes is critical. The connector features a threaded or bayonet-style mechanical locking mechanism that supports blind mating and maintains stable optical transmission under chemical corrosion, moisture, and extreme temperature conditions.
Key Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| IP67 / IP68 Protection | Completely dust-tight; withstands temporary immersion (IP67) or continuous submersion (IP68), preventing moisture ingress that can damage fiber |
| Mechanical Locking | Threaded or bayonet lock, supports one-hand blind mating, prevents vibration-induced disconnection |
| Armored / Reinforced Options | Stainless steel tube or aramid yarn strength members for crush and tensile resistance; suitable for direct burial, duct, or aerial installation |
| LSZH Outer Jacket | Low Smoke Zero Halogen; low toxicity emissions in fire events, suitable for telecom infrastructure safety requirements |
| Wide Temperature Range | -40°C to +70°C (operating/storage), suitable for extreme climates |
