MicroCord Breakout Cable
As next-generation frames and electronics systems become more complex and increase in density, there’s no need to reduce your cabling specifications. Instead, look to the OFS MicroCord™ Breakout Cable. Developed to help revolutionize high-density equipment applications, the MicroCord Cable design uses 1.2 mm cords to help double the cable packing density over cables featuring traditional 1.6 mm cords. This capability helps create better pathway usage on the equipment interface and helps to reduce total congestion in equipment bays. World-class OFS optical fiber lies at the heart of each MicroCord Breakout Cable. Aramid yarn is wrapped around the non-buffered, 250 micron (µm) optical fiber. This construction is then carefully encased in a durable, flame-resistant jacket to form a MicroCord. These MicroCords are then arranged around a dielectric central organizer. Finally, a ripcord and a PVC outer jacket are applied to complete the cable.

Why To Use It
The MicroCord Cable answers the need for a highly compact, ultra-dense cabling solution optimized for use with high-density applications. While this cable builds upon OFS’ successful MiniCord® Breakout Cable design, the MicroCord Cable features 1.2 mm cords that help to provide twice the cable packing density of this earlier breakout cable. In addition, the cable’s MicroCords act as extremely small cordages to interface with the equipment faceplate. The result is an overall reduction in the total congestion in equipment bays. This ultra-compact and lightweight cable also helps offer ease of deployment and termination. The MicroCord Breakout Cable is an ideal choice for high-density management systems and for use in building micro assemblies.
