12-way 5.0mm Armoured Tactical Fibre Cable | 2/4/6/8/-Way OS2

For temporary fibre links that need mechanical protection and a compact cable diameter, HHDfiber offers armoured tactical cable in 2, 4, 6 and 8 fibre configurations (2-way, 4-way, 6-way and 8-way cable). Each version has a black, UV-resistant polyether TPU outer jacket, aramid reinforcement and stainless-steel spiral armour. The specified finished outside diameter is 5.0 ± 0.2 mm.

The cable can be supplied in cut lengths or discussed as a terminated assembly for broadcast, live event and field network applications. Tell us the equipment interfaces, required length and reel arrangement so we can check the complete build against your project specification.

12G-SDI / 4K video fibre links
For live production using 12G-SDI optical equipment, this G.657.A1 single-mode cable can provide the passive fibre link between compatible optical transmitters and receivers. LC-terminated assemblies can be specified to suit the equipment interfaces and deployment length. A 12G-SDI / 4K video link depends on the optical modules and the complete link loss budget; confirm the required fibre count, connector polish and full-length optical test results for each build. The cable itself does not convert HDMI signals to 12G-SDI.

UK enquiries for 12-way single-mode outdoor armored tactical fiber cable

UK broadcast and event buyers may describe a twelve-fibre cable as a 12-way single-mode cable and put the length first, for example 25 m 12-way single-mode cable. In a cable specification, 12-way means twelve individual optical fibres. If you need a terminated 12-channel fibre cable assembly, tell us the connector type and fibre-to-port mapping at each end so we can confirm the channel arrangement. The 5.0 mm construction specified on this page covers 2, 4, 6 and 8 fibres; please request the separate 12-fibre cable specification for a 12-way build.

Applications

Designed for temporary fibre runs in live production, the 5.0 mm armoured cable can be specified in the fibre count and length needed for a venue. Connector and reel arrangements are confirmed for each build.

Live sports and stadium production

Fibre routes for cameras, production positions and event signal distribution across sports venues. The required audio, video, data or timing interfaces depend on the equipment at each end.
Outside broadcast and remote production
Temporary connections between camera positions, outside broadcast trucks, portable production units and other production equipment, subject to the specified fibre interfaces and connectors.

Concerts, festivals and live events

Multi-fibre routes for live video, stage production and on-site event connectivity, configured to the signal equipment used by the production team.

Event fibre hire and repeat deployment

Cut-length cable or made-to-order reel assemblies for event suppliers who install, recover and redeploy their fibre stock. Specify the reel, connectors, breakout lengths and protective caps for the intended handling workflow.
TV production and news gathering
Portable fibre links for location production and field broadcast systems where the optical interfaces, length and cable construction have been checked for the project.

Long runs and ST-terminated assemblies

HHDfiber has previously built a 1,000 m fibre assembly with ST connectors. For a new long-run requirement, tell us the fibre count, cable construction, connector details and reel preference. We will confirm the proposed build and full-length optical testing before quoting.
Request a configuration

Send us your fibre count (2, 4, 6, 8 or 12), link length, end connectors, quantity and intended use. If you specify the build by optical channels, include the connector and breakout arrangement as well. For a cable deployed and recovered from a reel, include your reel size or handling requirement. We can then confirm a suitable construction, testing scope and quotation.
