AFC Cable Systems offers a wide range of custom armouing solutions suitable for applications in the power and electrical distribution industry. The custom armouring, available through both the AFC Cable Systems and Kaf-Tech brands, adds a protective interlocking armor to customer-supplied wire, cable or fiber core. Customers can take advantage of a variety of cable bundling options under one cable protection system, including bundling communications cable with fiber counts of 12, 24, 36, 48 or more.

An optional outer jacket of specialty formulated PVC can be added to provide extra protection and colour-coded to act as a differentiator from other similar cables and for ease of identification. This option is suitable for use in plenum and riser applications, wet locations and where cable is embedded in concrete.

The AFC custom armouring provides mechanical protection and easy cable identification, as well as protection from moisture, plenum and riser environments. Bundling multiple cables under one armor reduces installation steps, providing significant time and labor cost savings compared to conventional raceway methods.

Custom armouring is a suitable solution for communications data cable manufacturers. Numerous UL-listed fiber telecommunications options are available, including category 5 (Cat 5) and category 6 (Cat 6). AFC Cable has CSA International approval to armor and jacket for an extensive range of applications.

AFC offers fast turnaround and provides OTDR testing to ensure fiber optic cable integrity is maintained.
