POF / HPCF Dual-Core Metal-Armored Fiber Optic Cable

The POF/HPCF dual-core metal-armored fiber optic cable places two optical cores inside a strength-filled, metal-armored jacket – adding crush, impact and rodent protection to a large-core industrial fiber platform.

Product Overview

Built for routes where lightweight cable would be vulnerable, this armored duplex combines HPCF/POF cores with internal strength members and a metal armor layer. It extends our industrial fiber range into harsh mechanical environments.

Photographed armor and jacket styles are selectable; confirm jacket compound, fiber type and protection level against your quotation.

Key Features

• Two optical cores with internal strength members
• Metal-armored outer construction
• Balances protection against routing flexibility
• Suitable as a base for terminated OEM assemblies
• Works with large-core POF/HPCF fibers
• Final ratings are configuration-dependent

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Industrial cable routing in plant areas
• Sensor and laboratory links needing protection
• Conduit and exposed field routes
• Equipment-specific harness development
• Machinery and moving-part leads

Performance & Reliability

Performance is set by fiber grade, buffer system, strength members, jacket material, armor, finished diameter, bend limits and installation environment. The metal armor improves crush and incidental rodent resistance; exact mechanical and grounding ratings depend on the final design.

Customization & Ordering

State fiber count and type (POF or HPCF), outer diameter, jacket compound, flexibility, flame requirement, tensile requirement, temperature range, connector combination and routing conditions. We sample before volume approval. All assemblies are terminated, end-face inspected and individually tested before dispatch. Send your drawing, connector pair, fiber type and target volume, and our engineers will return a configuration, sample plan and lead time. Contact our sales team for OEM/ODM support.

FAQ

Q: Why metal armor on a plastic fiber?

A: The armor protects the fiber core from crushing, impact and rodent damage during installation and in exposed plant routes.

Q: POF or HPCF – which is this?

A: The platform supports both large-core POF and HPCF fibers; specify which when ordering based on distance and bandwidth needs.

Q: Can it be terminated with standard connectors?

A: Yes, large-core industrial connectors are available; we can supply the finished armored assembly.
