The OPTOKON Armoured Fiber Optic Patchcord enables easy handling and installation in a similar way to standard electrical cable. This most recent version of the Armoured Fiber Optic Patchcord differs from the traditional product due to the development of a micro diameter armoured flexible tube encased in stainless steel in order to prevent optical fiber from being easily destroyed or broken and also comes with the option of a flame resistant PVC coating. This unique design ensures an easier construction process therefore reducing the return loss and extending the life span of the optical fiber.
