Exceeds TIA/EIA-568-B.3 (4.3.2), Telcordia GR-20 and ANSI/ICEA and S outdoor and indoor/outdoor standards. All dielectric strength members with gel-free water blocking technology. SZ stranding enables mid-span access for added flexibility. Color coded 3mm loose tube with gel-free water blocking technology: no gel clean up and faster installation. Available with color coded multimode or single-mode optical fibers. 62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm. With GIGAlite, GIGAlite-10 and GIGAlite-10XB optical fiber technologies. Industry leading performance and significant savings from a true outdoor/indoor fiber optic cable. Be sure it s Adventum. Outdoor. Indoor. Riser. Plenum. Adventum meets all the codes and specs for all environments. That means no transition points are needed at the building entrance. The result: reduced installation costs by as much as 26%! Choosing the right outdoor/indoor fiber cable can make a real difference in your enterprise network. At the same time, many fiber optic cables marketed as indoor/outdoor aren t really suitable for both applications. For example, tight buffer cable designs are promoted by some for indoor/outdoor applications, even though most of these cables were originally designed for indoor use. While the addition of water-blocking technology to a tight buffer cable may provide protection from water penetration, it doesn t provide optimal protection for the optical fibers from the physical stresses associated with the more extreme conditions of an outdoor environment. Berk-Tek Adventum is a true outdoor/indoor cable specifically engineered and designed for the application. It s no wonder that Adventum is the first choice for so many network designers and cabling professionals and the spec for the most demanding mission critical enterprise and campus networks. PROVEN DESIGN. RUGGED CONSTRUCTION. OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE. Engineered to withstand the harsh environments of outside plant installations, Adventum uses proven loose tube construction techniques, with gel free water blocking technology, to provide optimum performance and reliability throughout your cable plant. Adventum is also rugged. It can be confidently lashed aerially, buried in a conduit or trayed and can tolerate extreme temperatures (-40 to +75 C). Adventum s 18 to 216 fiber count designs are rated for 600 lbs. of installation tension, while the 6 to 12 count fiber versions are rated for 300 lbs., making Adventum an excellent solution when SZ stranding enables mid-span access for greater flexibility in LAN/WAN multi-tenant or installations.

3 Adventum provides significantly reduced installation and maintenance costs as much as 26%* over traditional gel-filled fiber designs with the reliable, premium performance you ve come to expect from Berk-Tek. INDUSTRY LEADING PERFORMANCE. GUARANTEED! Throughout your enterprise and campus environment, Adventum is designed to support high-speed, high powered Gigabit applications like Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit ATM and Fibre Channel in fiber counts of 6 to 216. over-riding conduits or supporting cable pulls of any significant length. Plus, both the cable core and buffer tubes use DryGel, Berk-Tek's unique gel-free dry water blocking system, that seals against water. Adventum fiber cables are also up to 35% smaller and weigh much less than tight buffered cables. The tighter bend radii makes installation in crowded conduits easier and far less labor intensive. For high strand count cables, Adventum s stranded loose tube design utilizes SZ (reverse oscillating lay) stranding which enables mid-span access to the fibers for added flexibility in LAN/WAN and multitenant installations. ADVENTUM MEETS ALL THE SPECS: OUTDOOR AND INDOOR. In addition to its outdoor application, Adventum is also plenum and riser rated so it can be used in virtually any cable plant outside or inside or both with no transition point required between environments. Adventum meets the rugged requirements of GR-20 and ICEA-640, 696 for outside plant cables as well as the UL 910-flame test for plenum environments and UL-1666 for riser installation. Adventum s installed performance is reliable with attenuation and bandwidth specifications that far exceed industry standards. Because Adventum is available with Berk-Tek s revolutionary GIGAlite, GIGAlite-10 and GIGAlite- 10XB optical fiber technologies, Adventum also significantly extends your Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet 850 nm VCSEL fiber distances far beyond the IEEE spec. No other outdoor/indoor fiber cable surpasses Adventum. Adventum designs are also available in low smoke zero halogen and Limited Combustible construction with limited fiber counts.
