osP broadband Category 5e BBDe, BBDNe and BBDGe Product Description BBD Category 5e Outside Plant (OSP) cables are designed to provide extension of the LAN beyond the premises. The core is filled wih PFM™ thixotropic filling compund to prevent water ingress. PFM gel will not drip even in cell tower applications at elevated temperatures. A variety of Sunlight and Weather Resistant constructions are available to suit multiple environmental needs. Shielded Polyethylene Jacket designs feature dry water block between the shield and the core jacket Thermoplastic Insulation to prevent water ingress. All designs are suitable for buried applications. PFM™ Gel-filled, Water-Repellent Core Applications Solid Annealed • 10BASE-T through 1000BASE-T Ethernet Copper Conductor • Power over Ethernet (PoE) – IEEE 802.3af • PoE+ – IEEE 802.3at Type 1 and 2 • ATM and token ring • WiMAX cell towers Sunlight and Weather Resistant Polyethylene Outer Jacket • BBDNe: Lashed aerial, underground conduit or low-risk direct burial Aluminum Tape Shield (BBDNe) or • BBDGe: Direct burial where additional mechanical protection is required Copper-clad Steel Armor (BBDGe) Features Benefits Polyethylene Inner Jacket • Transmission performance • OSP rated cable connections PFM Gel-filled, Water-Repellent Core characterized to 350 MHz for work area and backbone LAN Solid Annealed • BBDe: Unshielded • Small, robust design for Copper Conductor unshielded applications Thermoplastic Insulation • BBDNe: Aluminum tape shield • Protection against EMI/RFI • BBDGe: Copper-clad steel armor • Protection against EMI/RFI and provides rodent resistance Specifications • Dry block between shield/armor • Prevents water ingress between and inner jacket shield in inner cable preventing Pair Count 4 damage to equipment Conductor Solid annealed copper • PFM gel-filled core construction • Prevents intrusion of moisture AWG (mm) 24 (0.51) and easily wipes clean during ™ Filling Compound PFM thixotropic gel installation Insulation Solid polyolefin • OSP-grade black • Outside plant rated cable for BBDe: Unshielded polyethylene jacket years of reliable performance BBDNe: Electrically continuous 0.008 in • ColorTip™ circuit • Easily identifiable conductor (0.20 mm) polymer coated smooth identification system mates even in low-light Shield/Armor aluminum tape, applied with an overlap environments BBDGe: Electrically continuous 0.005 in (0.13 mm) corrugated copper-clad steel armor, applied with an overlap Technical Guideline BBDNe: SAP powder Dry Water Block BBDGe: SAP yarn Special connectivity is required for these cable designs.
