Class A Flame-Retardant Armored Optical Cable Standard

Class A Flame-Retardant Armored Optical Cable Standard

Offered in OM1, OM3 and OM4 multimode and OS2 singlemode, in 4, 8, 12 or 24 core fibre configurations. All feature a corrugated steel tape armour for protection from rodents, a central loose tube construction and internal/external LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath. Corning Optical Communications manufactures quality flame retardant optical fiber cables for indoor applications, which comply with the requirements of the National Electric Code® (NEC® 2023) published by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA). IEC60332-1 and IEC60332-2 are used to assess the flame retardancy of single cables when they are placed inclined and vertically, respectively, and IEC60332-3 is used to assess the flame retardancy of bundled cables when they are burned vertically. Understanding IEC 60332 testing helps engineers, contractors, and project managers choose the right cable solutions to limit flame spread and improve overall fire safety. Fire resistant cables are designed to maintain circuit integrity and continue to work for a specified period of time under defined conditions.
