EFB Electronics A-DQ(ZN)B2Y 4x12G 50/125µm OM3 PE Black Outdoor Fibre Cable (48 Fibers)

The EFB Electronics A-DQ(ZN)B2Y is a high-performance outdoor fibre optic cable designed for direct burial applications. With 48 multimode fibres arranged in 4x12 groups, this cable delivers reliable data transmission for demanding network environments. The OM3 fibre class supports high-speed applications up to 10 Gb/s over distances up to 300 meters.

Advantages

This cable features a robust polyethylene (PE) jacket that provides excellent protection against moisture, UV radiation, and mechanical stress. The non-metallic glass yarn armouring offers rodent protection while keeping the cable free of metallic elements, making it ideal for installations where electromagnetic interference must be avoided. The black jacket ensures durability and UV resistance for long-term outdoor use.

Suitable for

• Outdoor fibre optic trunk cabling
• Direct burial installations
• Data centre interconnects
• LAN backbone networks
• Telecommunications infrastructure
