The BBDe series of Outside Plant (OSP) CAT 5e products now have two new features: a) dry water blocking agent outside of the inner jacket (for BBDNE and BBDGE); and b) PFM gel in place of ETPR as a filling compound in the core for all three series.

These features make the BBDe series cables ideally suited for cell tower/WiMax tower applications where there are concerns about the filling compound or flooding compound potentially dripping.

These cables also fully comply with the performance requirements of TIA 568-C.2, which is something that some other OSP CAT 5e cables do not guarantee.

• Transmission performance characterized to 350 MHz for CAT 5e BBDe Series
• Assures ample overhead for reliable transmission in an outside plant rated cable allowing extension of the premises LAN
• Aluminum Shield in the CAT 5e BBDNe Provides protection against EMI/RFI
• Corrugated Copper Clad Steel Shield in CAT 5e BBDGe Provides both EMI/RFI and rodent protection
• Dry Block between shield and inner jacket Prevents water ingress between shield in inner cable preventing damage to equipment
• Fully filled core construction with PFM Gel
• Prevents intrusion of water and moisture that can degrade transmission performance
• Will not drip or flow even in cell tower applications
• OSP Rated Sunlight Resistant Black jacket Outside plant rated cable for years of reliable performance
