Hubbell HGRKTD60DA Indoor Interlock Armored Tight Buffer Fiber Cable

Overview

The Hubbell HGRKTD60DA is an indoor, interlock armored, tight buffer fiber optic cable designed for plenum-rated spaces. It features six fibers of OM4 multimode performance in an aqua jacket, facilitating clear identification and deployment in commercial building environments where fire safety codes mandate plenum-rated cabling. This construction provides robust mechanical protection against crushing and impact, essential for reliable data transmission in demanding installations.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for termination with standard LC, SC, or ST fiber optic connectors and is compatible with a wide range of fiber optic patch panels, splice trays, and network equipment that support OM4 multimode fiber. It is suitable for use with various network switches, routers, and media converters requiring 6-fiber connectivity. The interlock armor provides protection suitable for environments where the cable may be subject to incidental impact or crushing, such as within cable trays or conduits in data centers, enterprise networks, or industrial control systems.

Installation Notes

The interlock armor offers superior crush resistance, rated at 1000 lbs per inch (175 N/mm), significantly exceeding that of non-armored cables. The tight buffer construction simplifies field termination by eliminating the need for specialized buffer tube stripping tools. The plenum rating (CMP) ensures compliance with building codes for use in air-handling spaces. Minimum bend radius for installation is 2.5 inches (64mm), and 1.0 inch (25mm) when installed.
