Stop the rat race

Stop the rat race. Choose ARM@CORE  – rodent proof cables.

ARM@CORE Applications ARM@CORE is a rodent proof, all dielectric fibre optic cable.  It is designed in Australia for Australian conditions and  aggressive Australian rodents. Reduced diameter technology SM@RTCORE reduced diameter technology keeps the cable small, light-weight and flexible for ease of installation.  Stops the rat race  A protective layer of Glass Reinforced Plastic rod (GRP)  provides the light-weight, non-metallic armour that will withstand attack from Australian Black Rats (Rattus rattus).  Independently tested  The cable has been independently tested by the Queensland Government and is the only non-metallic cable design that offers this high level of defence against rodents. Copies of this independent testing is available upon request. Additional - a termite attack barrier  An outer and inner Nylon layer can be added at the custom-er’s request, to provide a barrier against termite attack. Non-wrinkling nylon  The thin outer Nylon jacket is bonded to the polyethylene layer beneath. This keeps the cable light-weight and flexible and prevents the Nylon wrinkling when the cable is bent so maintaining the termite barrier fully effective. Lightning strikes – no problem  The non-metallic design means there are no issues with  Earth Potential Rises (EPR) under lightning strike conditions in high soil resistivity areas that are common in Australia. Full range  Available in a full range of fibre counts and fibre types in-cluding Prysmian’s bend insensitive fibre – BendBrightXS. A trusted solution  ARM@CORE has been utilised by all major Australian Telco’s and is the trusted solution when requiring rodent protection. Image taken from an independent report commissioned to test the ARM@CORE cable performance. Top cable shows  the ARM@CORE design (S). Outer Nylon sheath provides little resistance to rodent attack. However, the rodents cannot pen-etrate through the GRP armour and the inner core of the cable is left fully protected. Bottom cable is a conventional loose tube cable (C) and is completely destroyed by the rodents. All sizes and values without tolerances are reference values.

Our all dielectric ARM@CORE fibre optic  cables are fully protected against ruthless Australian rodents. Despite the solid hardware these loose tube cables are still surprisingly light-weight, flexible and easy to handle.  Australian made? Yes, of course.  © All r ig ht s r es er ve d by Pry sm ia n Gro up 20 14 Prysmian Cables & Systems Australia Pty Ltd 1 Heathcote Road, Liverpool 2170 NSW, Australia  Ph: 1300 300 304    Fx: 1300 300 307  E-mail: [email protected] www.prysmian.com.au
