September 30, 2009 -- Belden has introduced its MaxiBend tactical fiber optic cable line. The company says the newly designed cable series features an ultra-rugged construction and superior flexibility and bend resilience over a broad range of outdoor temperatures and weather conditions.
These characteristics, combined with smaller size and lighter weight than traditional tactical fiber cables, make the product ideal for use in outdoor broadcasting applications, maintains the company. The cables are also suited for in-the-field digital camera transmissions such as HD-SDI and 1080p/50 or 1080p/60, electronic news gathering (ENG), emergency mobile communications, and military, mining and industrial field operations, where ruggedness, long runs and high bend tolerance are essential.
Belden offers the MaxiBend tactical fiber series in eight standard product codes, in singlemode and multimode constructions, with up to 12 fibers, and a variety of special options designed to meet diverse application requirements. Options include glass type, fiber count and jacket color and material. Designed to stringent military standards, the tight buffered cables feature an aramid yarn strength member and an exceptionally tough, sunlight-resistant polyurethane outer jacket, making them highly resistant to abrasion, crushing and cut-through.
For installers, Belden says the MaxiBend tactical fiber optic cables offer multiple benefits including: occupying less space and adding less weight to mobile vans and trucks; installation typically requires less time and significantly less effort than with traditional tactical fiber cables; rugged construction allows repeated deployment and retrieval for reuse at event after event, without compromising high quality, reliable performance; compatible with all optical fiber connector types.
