Power & Tel offers optical fibers in several grades to manage the bandwidth requirements of today and tomorrow’s voice, data and video networks. Cables are available from the following leading manufacturers:• AFL
• Belden
• Commscope
• Corning
• Draka
• OCC
• OFS
• Prysmian
• Sumitomo
• SumitomoABF
• SuperiorEssex
Definition of TermsSingleMode:Enhanced single mode fiber (ESMF) features improved attenuation and optical loss performance. Low Water Peak (LWP) and Zero Water Peak (ZWP), Non-Zero Dispersion-Shifted (NZDSF) and bend-insensitive versions are available.
Multimode:Multimode fiber (MM) provides superior performance for many short distance and premise networks. Many constructions are available to meet the needs of all outdoor and indoor applications in standard grade 62.5 FDDI to laser-optimized 50μm versions.
GelFree:Power & Tel defines “gel free” fiber optic cables as cables with no water blocking gel between or in the buffer tubes. Cables with no water blocking gel between the buffer tubes only are described as dry.

FutureFLEX® Air-Blown Fiber fromSumitomoElectricLightwave
Why FutureFLEX? With the onslaught of bandwidth-rich services and technologies, uncertain network growth and the demands of doing more with decreasing budgets, IT and network managers require a flexible infrastructure that responds immediately to growing bandwidth requirements and the demands of quick project turnaround in real-time. They've found their solution with FutureFLEX air-blown fiber.
Conventional cabling infrastructures force IT and facilities managers to make uncertain and costly long-term decisions about what kind of fiber and how much to install for the next five to six years, paralyzing the network by limiting change, consigning today’s capital for tomorrow’s unforeseen projects and risking potential network obsolescence. FutureFLEX empowers network infrastructures with a continuously renewable life cycle. It has become the preferred LAN infrastructure for many of the world’s foremost enterprise networks, including: The Pentagon, CNN, ESPN, Johns Hopkins University, Vancouver International Airport, MGM Grand, Getty Center and many more.
How It WorksUnlike conventional network infrastructures, FutureFLEX’s point-to-point architecture enables any type and amount of fiber to be blown in and blown out anywhere and at any time throughout your campus network in a matter of minutes or hours for fast and easy network upgrades, expansions and reconfigurations, without the investment in dark fiber.
UltimateFlexibillityAt the heart of the FutureFLEX system is an infrastructure of compact tube cable used in place of traditional innerduct. In almost all installations, tube cable is installed with more cells than are currently required to ensure room for expansion.
FutureFLEX’spoint-to-pointarchitectureisrevolutionizingtheenterpriseinfrastructurebydevelopingaready-for-anythingLANthatprovides:
• Bandwidth-on-demand• Immediate network scalability• Fast and easy network upgrades, expansions and reconfigurations in minutes or hours versus the weeks or
months associated with conventional infrastructures• No disruption to daily operations or the workplace through the elimination of construction work and crews• Quick implementation of bandwidth-rich emerging technologies • Immediate control of nearly unlimited network capacity• Clean and environmentally friendly installation of fiber, eliminating the need for infectious disease and other
health-related regulatory processes• Easy demarcation for classification of network pathways• Pay-as-you-go budget decisions, one project at a time• Project costs that are typically 1/10 of that associated with a conventional infrastructure, thereby yielding
continuous return on investment
