Mining: What to Look for in a Good Fiber Cable

As mining facilities expand their fiber optic footprints, they need cables that can withstand the stress of harsh environments while also providing reliable signal and bandwidth.

• Ruggedized fiber optic cables are manufactured with a UV and fungus resistant outer sheath and are optimized to withstand the rigors of harsh cable pulls, high-tensile loading and severe crushing events.

• MSHA-rated cables are approved for use by the United States Mine Safety and Health Administration.

These cables are designed to repeatedly withstand the abuse associated with the extreme demands of surface and underground mining.
