opticalCON hybrid field cable


Assembled extra rugged hybrid cable with 2 multi-mode fibers and 4 x 0.75mm2 copper conductors, GFK strenght member and aramid yarn as cable retention. Low weight robust hybrid cable, only 78kg/km. Optimized design for OpticalCon termination. Most suitable for powered applications in audio and video use.

The OpticalConŽ cable connector accommodates a standard optical LC-Duplex connector in a ruggedized and durable all-metal housing. It features a push-pull locking mechanism and an excellent cable retention utilizing the aramid yarn. The optical connection is exceptional well protected against dirt and dust by an automatically operated sealing cover.
The cable connector comes pre-assembled and is not available as a single component. The cable with additional protection boot is available in different lengths and is packed either in a case, on drum or airspool.
