AIRGUARD® XP Fiber Optic Cable Oil & Gas | Chemical | Low Temp | High Crush | Harsh Environment | Tray OVERVIEW AIRGUARD® XP combines world-class mechanical protection, chemical protection, and user friendliness into a family of robust industrial optical fiber cables. AIRGUARD® XP joins Prysmian’s existing brands of AIRGUARD® low voltage and medium voltage cables. In the industrial and harsh environment, the presence of aggressive chemicals such as hydrocarbons, solvents, acids, and bases can destroy a traditional fiber cable.AIRGUARD®XP resists those harsh elements. In fact, the AIRGUARD® XP family surpasses the rigorous UL 2556 requirements for Oil & Gasoline Resistance. AIRGUARD® XP goes head to head with interlocking armor cables in the areas of impact and crush resistance. Because interlock armor contains metallic armoring, they are stiff, heavy, and require grounding. A severe impact or crush may cause permanent deformation to the metallic armor. The AIRGUARD® XP, all- dielectric versions, overcome these un-desirable factors and can be installed in trays/ladders along with copper communications or power conducting cables, thus providing greater flexibility & user friendliness. AIRGUARD® XP cables meet or exceed key industry standards such as ANSI/ICEA 696, CSA 22.2, UL 1277, and Telcordia GR20. The robust all-dielectric double jacket carries listings for sunlight resistance (SUN RES) and direct burial (DIR BUR). This cable is extremely versatile and may be utilized in low temperature applications down to -50°C (-58°F) and in properly engineered self- supporting aerial applications. The dual jacket, single corrugated steel tape option is also SUN RES and DIR BUR listed and provides optimal rodent protection in direct buried applications. The single jacket all-dielectric option is best suited for duct installations. SPECIFICATIONS / RATINGS Applications AIRGUARD® XP cables are extremely rugged, indoor/outdoor loose tube cables providing unsurpassed performance in the most challenging applications where extreme exposures to chemicals, oils, temperature, or compressive and tensile loads are present Flame Ratings XPRLTM = OFNG- LS/FT4 ST1 flame and low smoke rating XPRLTMB = OFN flame rating XPRLTMD = OFCG-LS FT4 ST1 flame and low smoke rating Fiber Count 2 to 288 Fiber Types Single-mode (SMF, bend-insensitive) Multimode (62.5/125-OM1, 50/125-OM2, OM3, OM4 and OM5) Standards ANSI/ICEA S-104-696, CSA C22.2 No 230/232, UL-1277, UL-2556 4.2.8.3 “Oil Resistance” PR11, UL-2556 4.2.8.4 “Gasoline Resistance” GR11, UL 1277 & CSA 22.2 230 Direct Buried Rated: DIR BUR, UL 1651 & CSA 22.2 230 UV Resistance Rated: SUN RES, Telcordia GR-20, CE RoHS Compliant Registered TL 9000, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 Supplier FEATURES AND BENEFITS • Suitable for tray installations • Hydrocarbon (kerosene, gasoline, lubricating oil) resistant • Resists chemical degradation in industrial environments • Resistant to jet fuel & de-icing chemicals for airport applications • Flame-retardant, black UV-resistant outer jacket • Smaller & lighter than comparable metallic armored designs • Available with bend-insensitive single-mode & multimode fibers • Proven stranded loose tube cable design for long term reliability Chemical Resistance Performance Compound Test Criteria ASTM No. 2 Oil 96 hours at 100°C Kerosene 168 hours at 50°C MIL-T-5624N JP-4 (jet fuel) 168 hours at 50°C MIL-H-5606 Hydraulic Fluid 168 hours at 50°C Vegetation Killer 168 hours at 50°C De-Icing Fluid 24 hours at 50°C Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) 24 hours at 50°C Prysmian 4 Tesseneer Drive, Highland Heights, KY 41076 na.prysmian.com TLS-DS-D-102-US 0625 SPECIALTY CABLES 152
