Built for Extreme Conditions

Camcom’s special fiber cables are engineered to perform in environments where mechanical stress, temperature extremes, chemicals, or electrical noise threaten conventional cable structures.
They are resistant to:
• Wide temperature fluctuations
• Mechanical shock, bending, and vibration
• Oils, fuels, hydraulic fluids, and industrial chemicals
• UV, moisture, and corrosive environments
• High-EMI or electrically noisy installations
This ensures reliable, continuous performance in applications where downtime is simply not an option.

Standards, Compliance & Quality Testing

Every cable is manufactured to meet the highest global standards, including:
• IEC, ITU-T, ISO, EN
• MIL-Spec compliance (where required)
• IEC 60332 – Flame resistance
• IEC 60754 – Halogen-free requirements
• IEC 61034 – Low smoke emission
Additional mechanical and environmental endurance tests guarantee long-term performance and safety.

FAQ’s— Special Fiber Optic Cables

What makes a fiber optic cable “special”?
Special fiber cables are engineered for extreme or non-standard conditions where regular fiber cannot operate. They offer enhanced durability, EMI immunity, high bandwidth, and minimal attenuation over long distances.

What is an OFC cable?
OFC stands for Optical Fiber Cable—a cable that contains light-transmitting fibers used for high-speed data communication.

What is SWA fiber?
SWA refers to Steel Wire Armored fiber optic cable, which protects against crushing, impact, and rodent damage.

What is a composite fiber cable?
A composite cable contains multiple types of fibers or fiber + copper communication pairs within one structure.

What is a hybrid fiber cable?
Hybrid cables combine optical fibers with power conductors, allowing power and data to run together in one cable.
How does composite differ from hybrid?
• Hybrid: Fiber + power
• Composite: Fiber + fiber / fiber + copper communication pairs
Both streamline installation, but they serve different engineering needs.
