IRVINE, Calif., April 10, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- L-com, an Infinite Electronics brand and a supplier of wired and wireless connectivity products, has announced the expansion of its line of IP68, ODVA-compatible, MPO fiber optic, outdoor cable assemblies. The new assemblies are waterproof and dustproof for a wide range of outdoor uses, including broadcast, military ground communications, oil and gas, transport and renewable energy.
These new ODVA-compatible, fiber optic cable assemblies offer major benefits. They feature a simple bayonet-locking system and are compatible and interchangeable with new or existing ODVA cable deployments. They are easy to install for LTE, fiber to the antenna (FTTA), DAS and mobile cell tower applications, including remote radio unit (RRU) and base band unit (BBU).

This includes water immersion and an operational temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius (-40 F) to +70 C (+158 F). The cable jackets are chemical-resistant and have a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) burn rating.
These fiber optic cable assemblies offer low insertion loss and come in 12-strand fiber or 24-strand fiber and lengths up to 30 meters (98 feet). Also included in the product line are ODVA-compatible, IP68-rated fan-out assemblies with lengths up to 5 meters (16 feet) and IP68 LC connectors with chemical resistance and a superior pull force of 100 pounds.
A variety of connector configurations are available, including MPO/UPC, MPO/APC and LC/APC.
