Understanding Armored Patchcords: Durability and Reliability for Your Network

In the world of fiber optics, ensuring the safety and reliability of your network connections is paramount. This is where armored patchcord come into play. Designed with enhanced protection and durability, armored patchcords are a popular choice for environments where cables are exposed to physical stress or harsh conditions. In this blog, we’ll explore what armored patchcords are, their construction, benefits, and common applications.

What is an Armored Patchcord?

An armored patchcord is a type of fiber optic patch cable that includes an additional layer of armor around its core. This armor is typically made of materials like steel, toughened aramid, or aluminum that provides extra protection against physical damage, including abrasion, crushing, and bending. Armored patchcords are designed to protect the delicate optical fibers inside from external factors while maintaining their high-speed data transmission capabilities.

Construction of Armored Patchcords

The construction of an armored patchcord consists of several key components:

Optical Fiber: Like standard fiber optic cables, armored patchcords contain optical fibers made of glass or plastic that transmit light signals.

Outer Jacket: The fiber optic core is typically surrounded by a protective jacket made from flexible materials, such as PVC or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), which provide basic protection against environmental factors.

Armored Layer: The standout feature of an armored patchcord is the armor layer. This layer is made of materials such as steel, aluminum, or aramid fibers and is placed around the core and jacket to prevent physical damage.

Connectors: The patchcord ends are fitted with fiber optic connectors (e.g., LC, SC, or MTP) that allow for easy connection to network equipment, switches, or other optical devices.

Benefits of Armored Patchcords

Enhanced Durability: The primary benefit of armored patchcords is their ability to withstand harsh environments. The armored layer prevents damage from impact, rodents, or heavy foot traffic, ensuring a longer lifespan for your fiber optic cables.

High-Speed Transmission: Like standard fiber optic cables, armored patchcords provide high-speed, low-loss data transmission, making them ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications.

Flexibility: Despite their added protection, armored patchcords remain flexible and easy to install, making them suitable for a range of installation scenarios, including tight spaces or outdoor environments.

Applications of Armored Patchcords

Armored patchcords are used in environments where physical protection is critical. Some of the most common applications include:

Industrial Settings: In factories, warehouses, or outdoor installations, armored patchcords can protect fiber optics from machinery, heavy equipment, or environmental factors.

Data Centers: These cables are ideal for data centers that require high-density, durable connections that can handle high bandwidth without the risk of damage.

Telecommunications: In telecom installations, armored patchcords help safeguard critical connections from damage, ensuring stable communication networks.

Conclusion

Armored patchcords are essential components for protecting and maintaining high-performance fiber optic networks in challenging environments. With their added durability and high-speed data transmission capabilities, they are an ideal choice for industries and settings where cable protection is necessary. By investing in armored patchcords, you ensure that your network remains stable, secure, and operational even in the most demanding conditions.

Dynaco Repair Post No. 4

Thursday evening, 12-21-23, later:

As I was saying, just a little careful polishing and the chassis already looks a lot better. And the can cap is almost exactly same height as the original:

A little more of that shine:

Once the new can was twist-locked into place with the four tabs, it was time to make the physical connections to all four of the terminals, and replacing the old resistors with some flameproof resistors I'd bought for another ST70 I redid about 15 years ago:

And here, finally is everything hooked up, crimped, and ready to be soldered:

Again, the 30-watt pencil is the way to go.

And THAT, believe it or not, completes ALL the repairs I needed to make to the Stereo 70! Now, all I need is a fresh quad of EL-34 output tubes...another $100 I don't have.

Tomorrow, I start in on finishing the PAS. The 12X4 got here, and I have work to do on the replacement switch. Dude had stripped the big flat caps wired in there, so I will have to cannibalize off my old one.

And one last "Glamour Shot", this time with the 7199 driver tubes in place, with the chassis and base shined up nicely:

(And yes, I put these awesome big-ass rubber feet on and it is so much better looking cageless, as well as easier to handle! And I can't help thinking it has to help keep the amp cooler than the original almost non-existent flat button feet.)

Friday evening, Dec 22, 2023

Well, I looked at that 3-wafer switch, and my little "fix" of wrapping wire around the broken bits, and decided I really had nothing to lose by putting the tubes in, including the NOS 12X4 rectifier tube, and attaching some improvised wiring up to my ancient (but still absolutely functional) Altec Lansing computer speakers as an amplifier.

I then dug out the wires for the turntable and its ground, and a functioning 1/8"-to-RCA cord to use as a test for all the other inputs.

IT WORKS!!! WE HAVE PHONO! WE HAVE ALL THE OTHER PERTINENT INPUTS AS WELL! Talk about relieved and elated! WooHOO! At least now I can get back to transcribing my vinyl to SSD via this beautiful critter, my Dual 1219, with Shure M91ED cartridge. Test record? My ancient 45 of "Green Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf! ROCK OUT ON THAT ORGAN, JERRY CORBETTA!

Plugged the other patchcord into my laptop, and put Miss Nina Simone's "Little Girl Blue" (which I had transcribed before this mess all went down)...and it came through excellent on the "Spare", AM/FM (tuner) input. The only one that sounded a bit off was the 'FM MPX", which was actually only supposed to be one channel of the stereo FM, so that was to be expected, actually.

That 12X4 glowin' fine:

BUT: with the Spare and Phono both functional, as are the tape in/out jacks, I have everything I need, since I have a 3-source external selector box that will turn Spare into three separate additional inputs, thus, I can run my TV and DVD player into the tubes as well.

SO, I can call the PAS3X officially back in business again, and I have a spare source switch if I need it. That is big. I will spend the rest of the time this evening on putting the case back together and doing some more polishing on the ST-70.

SO the only thing we are missing for a Totally Tubular Xmas is a quad of EL34/6CA7 tubes!

More tomorrow as I finish up the detailing on both units.

And I will also show off my speakers that fill an empty spot in the Dynaco speaker line: a beast of my own creation, the speaker that never was, "The A-15" (lulz) I used 8" butyl-surround woofers and SEAS tweeters, encased in actual wood veneer Pioneer speaker cabinets.

The A-10 woofers were 6", and the A-25 were 10", these Pioneer boxes are perfectly sized to be infinite-baffle boxes, the woofers have exactly the right amount of room, and they sound amazing when the Stereo 70 is blasting through them.

AND ADDENDUM, 8:27pm: EL-34s ARE BEING MAILED TOMORROW! My bro over on the east coast is shipping them tomorrow...we will have TUBEAGE for XMAS!

Optical Fiber Connector Grades of Grade B Patch Cord Connector

IEC standards dictate the patch cord connector performance for each grade of fiber-optic patch cord connector based on IEC 61753-1. As defined, there are four grades for insertion loss from A (best) to D (worst). For conventional patch cord connector, mated performance is over 0.5dB, even to 1.0dB. This may cause the whole high-speed optical connection system unreliable and transmission unstable. Therefore, the grade B patch cord connector is stable with the excellent optical performance of a maximum 0.25dB while mating each other which is a guarantee for hundreds of gigabit data exchange with connections.
