Chris,
For the "patch" between the top cabinet and the radio we use OCC's Ultra-Fox 2 tactical fiber. While not "armored" per say, it is really tough stuff designed for very harsh military environments. Be advised that the OCC web site is designed to trap you in the maze never to let go of you or the information you are looking for. I still can't find the products we use. LOL. Look here for an idea of how the fiber strands are constructed: http://www.smpdata.com/main/index.php?m=3 <http://www.smpdata.com/main/index.php?m=3&p=25&l=en> &p=25&l=en. Note they call the "Ultra-Fox 2" cable by the name "Ultra-Fox Plus". Or maybe the "2" has been replaced by the "Plus"-I can't figure it out. As far as I can tell it is the same thing but marketing and production refuse to communicate. Where it really gets confusing is when then build cables using the Ultra-Fox 2 tactical fiber. Then they get different names. I think it becomes their B-Series Mil-Tac cable. Of course there are MANY part numbers given the mode and strand count, etc., etc. In the past we have used OCC part number B-002CAST5KM which is a 2 strand multi-mode breakout cable using the Ultra-Fox 2/Plus fiber. The only downside I can find is that this Ultra-Fox 2 cable is *very* flexible. This makes horizontal runs look a little messy because it droops between each place you secure it. We use 3M electrical tape every 12 inches backed up with a loose plastic zip tie to hold it to another cable. I highly recommend: Brent Coleman of GDT Manufacturing in Dallas TX at (214) 857-6262. We purchased from him recently and will do so again. Tell him I sent you and have him look up our order so he has some place to start. I don't know which OEM part numbers we ended up using for the tactical jumpers but it said Ultra-Fox 2 on the jacket when it arrived.

I need a rugged patch cable to connect from the SFP in the radio to the cabinet, armored and a UV stable jacket seem necessary. Not finding much by google searching. Any suggestions?
