AIRGUARD® XP Fiber Optic Cable (Canada)
Product description
AIRGUARD® XP combines world-class mechanical protection, chemical protection, and user friendliness into a family of robust industrial optical fiber cables. AIRGUARD® XP joins Prysmian’s existing brands of AIRGUARD® low voltage and medium voltage cables.
In the industrial and harsh environment, the presence of aggressive chemicals such as hydrocarbons, solvents, acids, and bases can destroy a traditional fiber cable. AIRGUARD® XP resists those harsh elements. In fact, the AIRGUARD® XP family surpasses the rigorous UL 2556 requirements for Oil & Gasoline Resistance.
AIRGUARD® XP goes head to head with interlocking armor cables in the areas of impact and crush resistance. Because interlock armor contains metallic armoring, they are stiff, heavy, and require grounding. A severe impact or crush may cause permanent deformation to the metallic armor. The AIRGUARD® XP, alldielectric version, overcomes these undesirable factors and can be installed in trays/ladders along with copper communications or power conducting cables, thus providing greater flexibility & user friendliness.
AIRGUARD® XP cables meet or exceed key industry standards such as ANSI/ICEA 696, CSA 22.2, UL 1277, and Telcordia GR20. The robust all-dielectric double jacket carries listings for sunlight resistance (SUN RES) and direct burial (DIR BUR). This cable is extremely versatile and may be utilized in low temperature applications down to -50°C (-58°F) and in properly engineered self-supporting aerial applications.
The dual jacket, single corrugated steel tape option is also SUN RES and DIR BUR listed and provides optimal rodent protection in direct buried applications.
