24 F Fiber Optic Cable with Yarn, Un-Armored – Lightweight, Flexible, and High-Performance Fiber Solution
The 24 F Fiber Optic Cable with Yarn, Un-Armored is a reliable and efficient optical communication cable designed for high-speed data transmission across short to medium distances. Engineered to deliver performance in structured cabling systems, this fiber cable is ideal for environments that require ease of installation, low weight, and moderate mechanical protection.
With 24 fiber cores and a yarn-reinforced design, this cable is well-suited for indoor and controlled outdoor applications where rugged armoring is not necessary. It offers excellent optical characteristics, strong tensile strength due to its yarn reinforcement, and flexible deployment possibilities across various industries.
Overview
In fiber optic networking, the need for lightweight, flexible, and cost-effective solutions has never been greater. The 24 F Fiber Optic Cable with Yarn fulfills these demands by offering 24 high-grade optical fibers protected by durable non-metallic yarns instead of traditional steel armoring. This makes the cable suitable for ducting, indoor routing, patch cabling, and other protected installations.
Un-armored and lightweight in design, the cable ensures ease of handling, minimal bend radius, and optimal installation performance, especially in tight conduits or riser environments.
