ChimeraX™ SWB Fire Resistant Heavy-Duty Industrial Fiber Optic Cable

Hermesys ChimeraX™ Heavy Industrial Fiber Optic Cable is designed for harsh environments. It features a steel-strength member, SZ stranding, and thermoplastic waterproof tubes for high strength, flexibility, and water resistance. Fire-blocking tapes and LSOH jackets provide excellent fire protection, making it ideal for critical systems in heavy industrial and offshore applications. This ensures reliable performance in tough conditions.
