Miniflex TuffNut™ Cables are ideal for applications requiring performance,
durability and protection. The crush resisting, bend-limiting features are an inherent characteristic of Miniflex sheathing technology, protecting the fibre from micro or macro-bending and damage resulting from the rigours of daily use.
The Miniflex manufacturing technology enables the use of hard plastic materials
that exhibit high tensile and high compressive strengths that are unique in the field of cable design. This approach is particularly beneficial for the provision of bend insensitive fibre cables that utilise standard single or multi-mode fibres. It also provides a light weight, cost effective cable that does not demand the use of additional high strength filaments.
Our ruggedised TuffNut™ Cables are designed to provide durable, high performance optical solutions for advanced fibre optic assemblies. Miniflex offers a number of ruggedised products in multiple materials, sizes, lengths and colours.
• Material choices for UV stability, fire retardancy, zero halogen
• Unique bend-limiting modulus
• Range of colours
• Fibre package to suit all requirements
• High tensile and high compressive strengths
• Low surface friction and resistance to buckling
• TheTuffNut™ jumper cable is five times more resistant to crushing than
conventional patch cord
crushing, kinking and excess bending
• Unique bend-limiting modulus provides 'flexible rigidity' that enables TuffNut™
Cables to be pushed easily through long complex micro-duct pathways
• Available in many colours providing a quick and easy way to distinguish
between circuits and routed services
• Utilises standard single or multi-mode fibres
• No need for additional high strength filaments
• Facilitates simple high speed installation and eliminates the risk of high tensile
loads occasioned when pulling cables through ducting and conduits

Applications
Miniflex TuffNut™ Cables are suitable for a wide variety of
applications. By virtue of their unique protective features, they
provide a more reliable solution and can survive in tougher
environments than conventional small fibre cables.Features
