Indoor/Outdoor Armored and Non-Armored Fiber Trunks
Product Overview
NetSource’s Indoor/Outdoor Multifiber Trunk Cable Assemblies deliver a rugged, high-performance solution for a wide range of fiber network applications—including broadband, wireless, enterprise, data centers, campus networks, and building-to-building connections. Manufactured in the U.S. and built to project specifications, these assemblies provide reliable optical performance across both indoor and outdoor environments.
Designed for flexibility and durability, each trunk is factory-terminated and 100% tested to ensure low insertion loss and consistent performance. UV-resistant, riser-rated jackets support conduit, riser, and aerial installations, while interlocking armor enhances mechanical protection and rodent resistance. Optional pulling eyes and staggered breakouts simplify routing and speed up deployment in complex layouts.
NetSource custom-builds every trunk assembly to meet exact network requirements, offering a wide range of fiber types, connector options, leg diameters, and cable lengths to support high-performance infrastructure across industries.
