I-V(ZN)H 12-24 Mini-BreakOUT
I-V(ZN)H_12-24_F_LSZH_MINIBREAKOUT

The mini breakout tight buffer cable I-V(ZN)H_12-24F LSZH Mini-Breakout is the ideal fiber to the desk solution for direct connector fitting. Due to its compact design it is easy to install, where space is limited it is perfect and economic solution. The 900µm tight buffers are individually colored and surrounded by glass yarns. Depending on the transmission rate required and the distance to be covered, either multimode fibers with various specifications or single mode fibers are used for these cables. To comply with the strict fire safety requirements for indoor applications, cables with halogen-free and flame-retardant cladding are required, since these ensure that a fire is not propagated further along cables, and that cables do not produce corrosive or toxic gases.

Extended Usage and Installation Advantages

The I-V(ZN)H 12–24F LSZH Mini-Breakout cable is particularly suitable for structured cabling environments where reliability, flexibility, and fast termination are required. In modern office buildings, data centers, hospitals, and campus networks, the demand for fiber-to-the-desk (FTTD) and high-density indoor fiber distribution continues to increase. Mini-breakout cables provide a practical balance between traditional tight-buffer cables and larger breakout constructions.

Because each fiber is individually protected with a 900 µm tight buffer, connectors can be installed directly without the need for fan-out kits or additional protection tubing. This significantly reduces installation time, labor requirements, and overall project cost, especially in environments with multiple termination points.

The all-dielectric design eliminates grounding requirements and makes the cable safe for installation in EMI-sensitive environments, such as industrial control rooms or medical facilities. The LSZH outer jacket ensures compliance with modern building safety regulations, minimizing smoke density and eliminating halogen emissions in case of fire.

Mini-breakout cables are also ideal for vertical riser installations and backbone links between floors, where controlled flexibility and moderate tensile strength are required. Their compact diameter allows installation in cable trays, conduits, raised floors, and narrow pathways without difficulty.

From a network lifecycle perspective, the cable supports easy maintenance, re-termination, and future upgrades, making it a cost-efficient solution for long-term infrastructure planning. Whether used in enterprise LAN backbones, campus distribution networks, or indoor FTTH transition points, the I-V(ZN)H Mini-Breakout cable delivers reliable optical performance with simplified installation.
