The Hermesys ChimeraX™ Indoor/Outdoor Fire Resistant Cable is a non-armoured fibre optic cable built to keep transmitting during a fire. Its loose-tube, glass-yarn-protected construction is designed for critical telecom infrastructure where continued operation matters most.
Key Features and Benefits
- Special fire barrier tape helps the cable maintain circuit integrity, so critical systems keep operating during a fire
- A non-metallic FRP central strength member keeps the cable lightweight and flexible, with no rust risk over its service life
- A semi-dry design combines water blocking yarns and tape, giving strong water resistance without a fully flooded core
- Glass yarns provide non-metallic reinforcement, avoiding the weight and corrosion concerns of a traditional metallic armour layer
- An LSOH outer jacket limits smoke and toxic gas release, supporting safer evacuation conditions if a fire occurs
- Available from 2 to 24 fibre cores, the cable suits a range of telecom inside-plant duct installations
- A wide -40°C to +70°C operating range suits both indoor equipment rooms and exposed outdoor duct runs
