Q: What size conduit will this cable fit through?

Each cable will have a different diameter and the pulling sheaths will have a minimum recommended conduit size. We have listed the minimum size conduit size each cable will fit into.

Our recommendation is a general guideline as conduit pulls are very specific to the conduit path. A larger size conduit can typically handle longer runs, a conduit path with less bends will typically be an easier pull. Conduits with existing cables will have mixed results.

The cable end with the pulling sheaths is meant to be run through the conduit, your pulling string should be affixed to the loop at the end of the pulling sheath. For cable assemblies with higher strand count cables the connectors will be staggered in length to allow for the smallest possible diameter.

Q: What is the breakout length?

The breakout length is the following:

• 2 Strand Cables – 8″
• 6 Strand Cables – 18″
• 12+ Strand Cables – 36″

*Cable breakout lengths will vary slightly on the pulling sheath end as they may be staggered for higher strand count cables.

Q: How are the fibers identified?

Each of the cable assembly ends will have a protective tubing added and the tubing will be color coded to the fiber type:

A label is then affixed to each individual fiber strand. These labels will have the fiber # printed on it. These numbers correlate with the TIA color coding standard, as underneath the protective tubing each fiber is color coded:

Q: What brand cable will I get?

We stock of our fiber cables only from name brand manufactures, we may rotate stock from manufacturer to manufacture as lead times vary significantly when it comes time for us to replenish our own inventory.

The cable you order will likely be one of these brands: Corning, Prysmian, AFL, or Superior Essex.

Q: How will the cable be shipped?

Our cables are shipped on a cable spool* with both ends secured for safe transport. The cables are delivered via FedEx or UPS, or if you contact us we can ship via your shipping provider.

*Cables assemblies under 100′ in length will ship without a spool to reduce packaging.

Q: Where are these cable assemblies made?

Our cable assemblies are made in our factory, located at our headquarters in Orange, California.
