Andrew indoor duplex cables combine two Andrew Microcable elements in one cable encapsulated in a figure-8 jacket. A plenum rated cable, it is ideally suited to indoor antenna remoting for cellular and PCS systems, in-building applications, and in industrial environments for communication and sensor systems. Andrew Microcable is a unique product consisting of a single mode or dispersion shifted single mode optical fiber, encased in a reinforcing Fiberglas epoxy matrix for high tensile strength and crush resistance in a lightweight, compact package. The two single mode or dispersion shifted single mode Microcable elements provide the duplex cable with a tensile strength of 180 lb (81.7 kg) and allow easy and robust ST, SC, FC, and other connector attachment. The duplex cable is also suitable for riser applications, and can be easily divided into two single cables. All Andrew fiber optic cables meet strict performance standards, ensuring quality and reliability, and follow in the tradition of HELIAX and RADIAX cables, offering the best value for your investment.

Outdoor composite cables from Andrew Corporation combine one to six optical fibers with two insulated copper conductors to provide electrical and fiber optic capability in one cable. This cable can be terminated with standard optical and electrical connectors in a variety of lengths to provide cable assemblies. These outdoor products are ideally suited to outdoor antenna remoting for cellular, PCS, VSAT, and SATCOM systems, and for communication, process control, and sensors in industrial environments. The cable consists of a central gel-filled, water-blocked, loose buffer tube flanked by two parallel insulated 18- or 10-gauge stranded copper conductors. Each buffer tube contains one to six color-coded single mode optical fibers. Two rip cords provide fast and efficient access to the cables optical and electrical elements. The copper conductors, buffer tube, and rip cords are surrounded by a water blocking tape that provides longitudinal water blocking. The entire core, along with a GRP strength member on either side, is surrounded by a UV stabilized polyethylene jacket. Several configurations of composite cable and assemblies are available, all using single mode optical fiber. The optical fibers provide easy and robust FC/APC, ST, SC, FC, and other connector attachment, while the copper conductors can be terminated with any standard electrical wire termination. All Andrew fiber optic cables meet strict performance standards, ensuring quality and reliability, and follow in the tradition of HELIAX and RADIAX cables, offering the best value for your investment.
