Product Notes

Notes: Electrical values are expected performance based on cable testing and representative performance within a typical Belden system. Cable not guaranteed to meet TIA 568.2 specification for delay above lengths of 90m. Print Includes Descending Footage/Meter Markings from Max. Put-Up Length to 0. Fully Water Blocked. Suitable for burial or use in outdoor wet locations. Not recommended for Direct Burial applications without additional crush and impact protection. Additional crush and impact protection would include cable armoring, installation in conduit or installation with over top barriers per Belden Technical Bulletin T/8-6. Belden recommends using an entrance demarcation point when transitioning inside buildings with gel-filled OSP cables due to the cable design containing gel specific for wet outdoor environments. The suggested transition point is the REVConnect core coupler, part number RVACPKUBK-S1.
