Superior Essex Cable 23 AWG BBDG6 Product Code OSP Broadband Indoor/Outdoor Halogen-Free CM/CMX Solid Annealed Copper Cable 04-001-63

BBD Indoor/Outdoor Halogen-Free is a CM/CMX rated category cable combining Outside Plant (OSP) Broadband features with an indoor application. It is designed to provide an extension of the LAN beyond the premises or in situations where the NEC code requires an OSP-rated cable and can be used inside the building according to NEC CM rated rules. The cable consists of four (4) balanced twisted pairs surrounded by Superior Essex PFM™ gel that does not drip or flow, even in cell tower applications at elevated temperatures. The jacketed core is covered with dry block and a shield providing exceptional Alien Crosstalk (AXT) performance. The outer jacket is an OSP-grade, black, halogen-free polyethylene for superior sunlight and abrasion resistance. This shielded design is suitable for the following deployments: duct, underground conduit, tower, lashed aerial, open trench or low-risk direct burial.

The OSP Broadband Indoor/Outdoor is available in a variety of performances including CAT 6 and CAT 6A. It is also available in BBDG (copper-clad steel armor) and BBDN (aluminum tape shield; not suitable for direct burial deployment) constructions.

Features:
• Transmission performance characterized to 500 MHz
• Corrugated, copper-clad steel armor
• Shield/armor
• Dry block between shield/armor and inner jacket
• PFM gel-filled core construction
• OSP-grade black polyethylene jacket
• UL® CM listed

Benefits:
• Assures ample overhead for reliable transmission in an OSP-rated cable allowing extension of the premises LAN
• Rugged shield provides protection against EMI/RFI and provides rodent resistance
• Rugged shield provides protection against EMI/RFI and provides rodent resistance (BBDG only)
• Prevents water ingress between shield/armor and inner cable preventing damage to equipment
• Prevents intrusion of moisture and easily wipes clean during installation
• Outside plant rated cable for years of reliable performance
• Allows for CM specific application
• Ideal for indoor/outdoor deployment
