AIRGUARD® XP Fiber Optic Cable (US)

In an industrial environment where harsh conditions prevail, aggressive chemicals like hydrocarbons, solvents, acids, and bases can damage traditional fiber optic cables. The AIRGUARD® XP series is designed to resist these challenging elements, exceeding the stringent UL 2556 standards for oil and gasoline resistance. 

AIRGUARD® XP competes directly with interlocking armored cables in terms of impact and crush resistance. Unlike interlocked armor, which is made of metal and tends to be stiff, heavy, and requires grounding, AIRGUARD® XP offers greater flexibility and user-friendliness. A severe impact or crush can cause permanent deformation to the metallic armor, but the all-dielectric versions of AIRGUARD® XP do not have this drawback and can be installed alongside copper communication or power cables in trays or ladders. 

AIRGUARD® XP cables meet or exceed several important industry standards, including ANSI/ICEA 696, CSA 22.2, UL 1277, and Telcordia GR-20. The robust all-dielectric double jacket features listings for sunlight resistance (SUN RES) and direct burial (DIR BUR), making this cable highly versatile. It can be used in low-temperature applications down to -50°C (-58°F) and in properly engineered self-supporting aerial installations. Additionally, the dual jacket with a single corrugated steel tape option also carries SUN RES and DIR BUR listings, providing optimal rodent protection for direct burial applications. For duct installations, the single-coat all-dielectric option is recommended.
