The Hermesys ChimeraX™ 5G Hybrid High Speed Cable (12×10mm²+24F) is an armoured hybrid cable that combines copper power conductors and ribbon optical fiber in a single jacket, purpose-built for feeding remote radio units and 5G antenna equipment. Its ribbon fiber core and aluminum-armoured construction make it well suited for outdoor tower-top and rooftop installations where a compact, fast-splicing hybrid feeder cable is needed.
Key Features and Benefits
- Combines 12 power conductors and 24 optical fibers in one hybrid cable, so a single run feeds both power and fiber to remote radio units instead of pulling separate cables
- Ribbon fiber design (2×12-fiber ribbons) supports mass-fusion splicing, cutting splice time and closure space versus single-fiber loose-tube construction — useful where fast tower-top turn-up matters
- LSOH fiber tube limits smoke and halogen acid gas release under fire exposure, suiting runs that pass through equipment rooms or enclosed risers
- Aramid yarn strength members protect the fiber core against tensile stress without introducing conductive metal near the optical path
- Corrugated aluminum tube armour adds crush and impact protection for outdoor and tower-mounted routing exposed to mechanical stress
- UV-resistant, carbon-black-stabilized outer jacket is built for continuous outdoor sun exposure without premature cracking
- Storage and operating range up to +70°C keeps the cable in service across the wide temperature swings typical of outdoor FTTA/RRU sites
- Dual ripcords, positioned under the armour and under the outer jacket, speed up sheath removal during termination
Typical Applications
- FTTA (Fiber to the Antenna) Deployments
- 5G Equipment and Small Cell Sites
- Remote Radio Unit (RRU) Power and Fiber Feed
