Insensitive Cable
IC-3 and IC-4 Insensitive Fiber Optic Cable
Description Relatively impervious to the effects of vibration, motion and pressure, the insensitive fiber optic cable provides a way to extend the distance between the deployed sensor cable and the FD-208 or FD340 series Alarm Processing Unit (APU) up to 20 kilometers (12.4 miles). Insensitive cable is available in two versions, depending upon the application: IC-3, a 3 millimeter diameter cable for above-ground applications, and IC-4, for buried applications. The IC-3 insensitive cable requires insertion into protective conduit prior to deployment for above-ground applications. The IC-4 insensitive cable can be buried directly without the use of conduit. The insensitive cable consists of a standard 9 µm
/125 µm single-mode optical fiber protected by a UVresistant rugged jacket which enables it to survive in harsh, outdoor conditions. The IC-4 insensitive cable has an additional layer of UV jacket materials for direct burial.

Both the FD-208/FD-208R and FD-340 series intrusion detection systems require the use of insensitive lead-in cable. Insensitive lead-in cable is not compatible with the FD220/FD-220P or FD-330 series Alarm Processing Units.
