AFL launches microtactical fibre optic cable
AFL is adding to its tactical fibre optic cable line by introducing micro-tactical cable . Designed for rapid deployment in networks that require high mechanical performance specifications , AFL ’ s micro-tactical cable combines ruggedness with ultra high fibre density . The military grade cable withstands high tensile loads , severe crushing forces , repeated impacts and extreme temperatures .
Although innovation in tactical fibre optic cables has been largely stagnant for the last several years , AFL has now fully bridged the gap , providing a high fibre count solution to meet the increasing demand for reliable signal transmission in harsh environments .
AFL offers a variety of tactical cable jacket materials enabling the cable to be used in areas where it may be exposed to high temperatures , wet locations , industrial chemicals and severe mechanical stresses . The micro-tactical cable is ideal for the broadcast industry , as well as military , mining , rail and petrochemical applications . For further information visit : www . aflglobal . com
