The 5.0mm Both-Ends OptiTap Hardened Armored Fiber Optic Jumper from NEATEL is a rugged, outdoor-ready simplex fiber patch cable designed for quick deployment in harsh environments, particularly in FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home), telecom, and industrial applications.

✅ Connectors
✔ Both Ends: OptiTap (pre-connectorized, hardened, and field-friendly for fast installation).
✔ Hardened Design: IP67-rated or higher (dustproof, waterproof, UV-resistant).
✔ Keying Options: May include color-coding or keying to prevent misconnection.

✅ Cable Construction
✔ Armored: Stainless steel or corrugated metal armor for crush resistance, rodent protection, and durability.
✔ 5.0mm Outer Diameter: Thicker than standard patch cords (2.0mm/3.0mm), offering extra mechanical protection.
✔ Simplex (Single Fiber): Single-channel transmission (typically OS2 single-mode).

✅ Fiber Type & Performance
✔ Single-Mode (OS2, G.652.D): Optimized for 1310nm/1550nm wavelengths.
✔ Low Insertion Loss: Typically ≤ 0.3 dB per connection.
✔ High Return Loss: ≥ 55 dB (due to precision APC polish if applicable).

✅ Environmental Durability
✔ Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C (suitable for extreme outdoor conditions).
✔ UV-Resistant Jacket: Protects against sunlight degradation.
✔ Waterproof & Dustproof: Meets IP67 or similar standards.

✅ Mechanical Strength
✔ Tensile Strength: ≥ 100N (armored layer prevents damage during pulls).
✔ Bend Resistance: Some versions may use Bend-Insensitive Fiber (BIMM, G.657.A1/A2) for tight installations.

✅ Typical Applications
✔ FTTH/FTTx Networks – Quick-connect drop cables from distribution hubs to terminals.
✔ Outdoor Telecom & 5G – Aerial, buried, or duct deployments in harsh conditions.
✔ Industrial & Military – Ruggedized connections in factories, oil/gas, or defense systems.
✔ CATV & GPON – Reliable low-loss links for high-speed data.
