AIRGUARD® XP Fiber Optic Cable (Canada)

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 industrial, harsh environments, the presence of aggressive chemicals such as hydrocarbons, solvents, acids, and bases can damage traditional fiber cables. 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, it is stiff and heavy and requires grounding. A severe impact or crush may cause permanent deformation to the metallic armor. The AIRGUARD® XP, all-dielectric version, overcomes these drawbacks and can be installed in trays/ladders alongside copper communications or power-conducting cables, 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 can be used 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.
