Flat optical cable SOLARIX 70900023 — indoor/outdoor flat fiber cable, model 70900023

Flat Optical Cable SOLARIX Model 70900023 is a low-profile flat fiber cable designed for installations that need a slim footprint and easy routing. The cable is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in confined spaces, including under floors, along walls, or in narrow conduits. Its flat geometry reduces bulk compared with round cables and allows discreet, space-saving routing for premises cabling, equipment interconnects and short backbone runs.

Advantages

The flat design minimizes bending radius constraints and can be routed through tight spaces where round cables may be difficult to install. The low-profile construction enables discreet placement under floor coverings or along skirting boards. The cable supports standard fiber network installations while offering straightforward handling and installation. Materials and construction are selected to provide durability for indoor/outdoor transitional runs and to maintain optical performance in typical building and exterior wall routing scenarios.

Suitable for

• Premises backbone and horizontal cabling where space is limited
• Routing under raised floors and along skirting or wall surfaces
• Indoor-to-outdoor transitions with protected exposure
• Connecting networking equipment in data closets, wiring cupboards and office spaces

Key specifications

• Flat cable geometry for reduced profile and easier concealment
• Single-mode or multi-mode fiber options (select per installation requirements)
• Designed for indoor and outdoor routing in protected or semi-protected environments
• Compatibility with standard fiber termination and splicing methods
• Durable outer sheath suitable for floor and wall installations

How to use

Plan the cable path to minimize sharp bends and avoid areas with heavy mechanical stress. Measure and cut the required length, then strip the outer sheath carefully to expose the fiber elements for termination or splicing. Use appropriate fiber preparation tools and follow standard fiber handling procedures, including cleaning and inspection of fiber endfaces before connectorization. Secure the cable with non-compressive clamps or adhesive channels when routing under floors or along walls to prevent movement and abrasion. Where the cable exits a building or is exposed to the elements, provide suitable protection or conduit to limit direct environmental exposure.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid repeated tight bending near termination points and maintain recommended bend radius for the selected fiber type. Use standard fiber connectors and splicing techniques, and consider protective channels or raceways for sections subject to foot traffic or mechanical wear. Verify fiber type and polarity before installation to ensure compatibility with existing network equipment.
