Photos
Armoured fibre optic patch leads made from a robust 3 mm cable. Two fibres sit inside a flexible stainless steel tube, protected by multiple strands of Kevlar yarn and encased in a black LSZH UV stable jacket.
The armour gives high impact and crush resistance, and protects against rodent damage, so the leads suit permanent outdoor runs and temporary indoor use in busy areas.
