Tactical Fiber Systems DuraTAC Armored Cable & Reel with Magnum Connectors (2-Fibers, Single Mode, 250 ft)

Key Features

  • DuraTAC – Stainless Steel Under Kevlar
  • Stronger, Half as Thin, Half as Light
  • Protects Against Wear/Tear and Rodents
  • Stainless Steel Magnum Connectors

This 2-fiber, single-mode Tactical Fiber Systems Cable & Reel, 250 ft in length, features TFS’s DuraTAC stainless steel armored inner core and TFS Magnum stainless steel female connectors.

DuraTAC is TFS’s solution to wear and tear that ultimately cuts through the Kevlar that surrounds the fiber cores in tactical cables. DuraTAC comprises a stainless steel armored inner core underneath the Kevlar, providing protection against stepping, cutting, and rodents. Other than being stronger, DuraTAC cables are also about half as thin and half as light, so you get more cable on your reel.

TFS Magnum connectors are ideal for remote video production and field deployment. They’re designed to provide strength, durability, and protection against dirt and damage during remote productions, and to prevent damage and contamination to the internal fibers. Each has screw-on waterproof dust caps on the ends.

The DuraTAC and Magnum stainless steel combination provides for reliable repeat outdoor deployment and retrieval in harsh conditions across a wide variety of applications.
