Multi-Purpose Break-out Cable

A breakout cable, also referred to as a fanout cable or branchable cable, is an optical cable with a branching structure that can distribute light signals from the main cable to different terminal devices.

Typically, a breakout optical cable comprises multiple single - core optical fibers tightly arranged around a central strengthening element, which is then wrapped with a protective tape and covered with a layer of PVC or LSZH (low - smoke zero - halogen) material. The design features a 900 μm tight - buffered fiber, with the number of fibers ranging from 2 to 24. The branching structure enables the creation of cuts or isolation zones at specific points along the cable, allowing for the separation of sub - cables to meet various branching requirements.

When branching is required during cable installation, the intermittent branch cuts on the outer sheath can be easily opened to divide the cable into the required number of strands without cutting the entire cable. This reduces the workload, decreases labor intensity, and improves work efficiency.

Breakout cables are widely used in various communication networks, including telecommunications, broadcasting, the internet, data centers, and smart grids. They are particularly suitable for scenarios requiring flexible branching, such as building wiring, data center connections, fiber to the desk (FTTD), security surveillance, and smart buildings.

Characteristics

• ‌Structure‌：The cable adopts a layer - twisted design and a non - metallic center reinforcement core, which enhances its ability to resist greater tension.

• ‌Outer Material‌：The outer material of the multi - purpose break - out fiber optic cable is corrosion - resistant, waterproof, UV - resistant, flame - retardant, and environmentally friendly.

• ‌Strength Member‌：Using aramid yarn as the strength member gives the cable excellent tensile strength.

Applications

• Indoor any purpose cable distribution

• Backbone distribution cable

Standards

• It complies with standards such as YD/T 1258.4, ICEA - 596, GR - 409, IEC 60794 - 2 - 20/21, etc.

• In addition to ordinary PVC products, there are also products that have passed UL OFNR certification; LSZH products use different materials to meet IEC60332 - 1 or IEC60332 - 3C.
