RE: High Density Multimode Runs BCP?

Armored runs are for outside plant, or, inside plant that
doesn't have adequate cable management. I've seen armored
indoors as a "security" measure, but if you don't control
your data center, you may as well save the money since
armored cable is like locks, it keeps good people out.
It may keep slack electricians from damaging it, but
considering they are usually heavy industry, I wouldn't
rely on it for that reason alone. :slight_smile:

As I said earlier, ribbon isn't designed for data centers,
nor is innerduct designed for ribbon.

I'd love to see some photos of people using innerduct+ribbon
cable. :slight_smile:

YMMV.

And let me guess - it probably actually works (more or less) for long enough
that the perpetrators have utilized the usual turnover rate to secure other
employment before the full extent of the horror becomes obvious? :wink:

(In a quarter century, I have *yet* to encounter a cable-gone-horrorshow where
the perpetrators are still to be found. Wonder how the cable *knows* that it's
now safe to go bad...)
