premise cable
AFL Telecommunications has leveraged more than 15
years of ber optic cabling experience in developing
its full line of premise tight-buffered cables for VOICE,
VIDEO and DATA needs. Our premise cables have been
successfully incorporated in all major telecommunica-
tions application spaces - Telco Central Ofces, Multi-
building Campus / Enterprise LAN’s, CATV hub sites,
Government & Military applications, and high-speed
data storage facilities.
AFL Telecommunications AFL-Link® brand of optical
ber cables deploy state-of-the-art laser certied bers
that meet all requirements of legacy networks, as well
as the needs of VCSEL driven Gigabit Ethernet and 10
Gigabit Ethernet networks. Go further faster by
specifying Laser-Link or Giga-Link™ optical perfor-
mance cables which offer the highest “bandwidth
per buck” in the industry.

premise cable
features
Offering unsurpassed exibility and the highest density
for the LAN, AFL’s Circular Premise Cables eliminate the
need to ounder with commonly stiff and inexible high
ber count trunk cables.
AFL Telecommunications has established itself as a
leader with Ribbon Interconnect Solutions, offering high
quality multimode ribbon in plenum and riser packages
averaging less than 50% of the area and twice the
exibility of equal ber count distribution cables.
For interconnect applications, we offer the broadest
selection of various diameter simplex, zipcord and
Dual-Link premise cable products.
AFL Telecommunications’ variety of high quality premise
cabling products and the AFL-Link® Lifetime System
Warranty allow specication and installation of an entire
ber optic system with condence.

simplex cable
Simplex ber optic cables provide the strength and exibility required for today’s
ber interconnect applications. AFL offers the broadest selection of simplex cord-
age including plenum, riser and LSZH, available in all diameters. Our simplex
cable is tested to meet Telcordia GR-326 when used in connectorized assemblies.
AFL provides customized performance with regard to jacket stiffness and exibility,
diameter, print legend, jacket color and tight buffer strippability. The easy strip
option allows removal of up to one meter of 900µm material without stripping
the ber’s 250µm coating.

premise: i/o tight buffer cable
indoor/outdoor plenum tight buffered cable
Indoor/Outdoor Tight Buffered Cables are specied
for campus network cabling between buildings where
interbuilding lengths are short enough that the installer
can recognize savings from the lower costs of terminat-
ing tight buffered cables. For longer inter-building runs,
consider AFL’s Indoor/Outdoor Riser Loose Tube Cables
For indoor applications the cable is UL910 (OFNP)
listed. For outdoor applications the cable is manufac-
tured with an outer jacket that incorporates a UV
stabilizer for protection against exposure to the sun
plus an anti-fungus protection for use in underground
applications.
features
• Cables are water blocked and meet water penetra-
tion requirements of GR-20-CORE (this helps ensure
that any damage to cable is restricted to a repairable
length of several meters and minimizes the likelihood
of having to replace the entire cable in the case of
backhoe damage)
• Outer jacket is moisture-resistant, fungus-resistant
and UV resistant for outdoor use
• 6 to 24 ber cables meet typical outside plant instal-
lation load requirements of up to 600 lbs.
• With a plenum rating, this cable can be used in all
environments: plenum, riser, general inside plant,
outside plant
