INTERCEPTOR + Armored Cable PDS Solution

Forget everything you know about designing or installing a PDS -
SIPRNET and JWICS deployments just got a whole lot easier!

• The March 2009 Emission Security Policy issued by the Air Force CTTA includes a major change in the way alarmed PDS can be installed. As an alternative to traditional hardened carrier systems (such as EMT or commercial secure raceway), generic interlocking armored cable alarmed by the Interceptor™ Optical Network Security System can now be used for securing SIPRNet and JWICS networks.  Click here for full press release.  This policy change enables the following benefits for network operators:
• 25-40% cost savings over Hardened PDS consisting of EMT or commercial secure raceway
  
• A 50-75% reduction in deployment time
  
• Users can now run armored cable in existing conveyance (wire basket, ladder rack) or suspended cabling (on D-rings, J-Hooks, etc.) to drastically simplify installation
• Enables the use of pre-terminated cables that previously would not fit into the required EMT conduit.
• Navy use of INTERCEPTOR with armored cable is currently reviewed and approved by the CTTA on a case by case basis.
