Fiber carries data reliably over long distances and provides more bandwidth than copper cables, often with a much smaller diameter. So it’s no surprise that fiber optic solutions have become increasingly popular to support a wide variety of technology applications, including raised floors in data centers, FTTx, and POL/PON.
While fiber is supposed to help bring these applications to life, sometimes they are constrained by existing fiber cable configurations and pathways. To get fiber cable into place, sometimes application performance has to be sacrificed. Many times installation problems were not foreseen until after the purchase of cable.
Belden’s OptiTuff Mini Fiber Cable, installed by NET100, overcomes virtually any potential installation problem. It combines the durability of metal armored solutions with the performance and installation ease of non-armored solutions.
Made from advanced, ruggedized thermoplastic material, OptiTuff Mini Fiber Cable is a cost-effective option that replaces traditional metal armored and non-armored fiber products used in FTTx, POL/PON and raised-floor applications – with no grounding or conduit required.

Features
- 90% lighter than metal armored cable
- 70% smaller outside diameter versus metal armored cable and 50% smaller outside diameter versus non-armored cable
- Tight bend radius for high-density raceway or tray installation (3 times smaller than non-armored; 9 times smaller than metal armor)
- Rugged enough to be stapled to walls and driven over by a forklift
- High crush and pinch resistance results in excellent reliability
Benefits
- Smaller diameter supports space savings in high-density installations
- Lighter weight and anti-kink properties make pulling fast and easy
- High crush resistance and durability eliminate the need for conduit
- Increased flexibility compared to metal armored cables
- Cost-effective alternative to traditional metal armored fiber
- No grounding necessary, resulting in material and labor cost savings
Fewer layers and the elimination of metal armor creates a lightweight cable with a high level of flexibility, plus a small diameter and tight bend radius make for easy cable preparation, installation and pulling.
