SZ-Slotted Core Cable for Aerial(SSW structure)

SZ-Slotted Core Cable for Aerial is designed especially for

aerial application with enhancing the mid-span accessibility.

Furthermore, this cable has a slack between the cable and

self supporting wire, possessing the ability to reduce the ten-

sion that applies to cable from the environmental conditions.

Designed especially for aerial application. Easy mid-span access Slack between the cable and self supporting wire Totally dry core structure enhances the installation workability Proven slotted core design provides outstanding optical fiber protection Available with full range of fiber types Up to 400-fiber counts are available

Mid-span access is easily conducted

by instruction shown in right figure.

Self-supporting wire will still maintain

the cable properties after the mid-span

access.

QS Ribbon(for SZ-Slotted Core Cable)

QS Ribbon (Quick Separate Ribbon) is easily separated into

individual fibers with the associated tools, realizing the ease

of mid-span accessibility. This technology allows single

drop application without any influence to other fibers inside

this ribbon. The QS Ribbon will fusion splice to standard

ribbon using current technology. This ribbon is accommo-

dated in SZ-slotted core cable.

Able to separate into individual fiber with using associated tools Able to splice with standard 4-fiber ribbon Designed for mid-span branch joint QS Ribbon is offered with SZ-slotted core cable design

Rollable Ribbon Cable combines good features of ribbon

fiber and single fiber. It was developed with the concept of

easy handling (small size and light weight) and enabling

easy mid-span branching. The diameter is 30% smaller and

the weight is 50% lighter than conventional aerial cable (SZ-

Slotted Core Cable for Aerial).

Smaller diameter and lighter weight due to using Rollable Ribbon and not using slot spacer Non slotted rod structure, like center core cable, and Rollable Ribbon make the cable size small-

er and save space comparing to the conventional ribbon slotted core cable Rollable Ribbon is especially adopted to mass fusion splice as standard ribbon It has slack between the cable and the supporting wire to reduce wind pressure

Rollable Ribbon has Advanced Quick Separation mecha-

nism for single fiber separation. In Rollable Ribbon, indi-

vidual fibers are partly bonded to each other in a interval.

Because of this structure, Rollable Ribbon can be separat-

ed to individual fibers much more easily than conventional

ribbon fibers with no special tool.

Rollable Ribbon can be separated to individual fibers at the end of the cables much more easily by hand than conventional ribbon fibers.

Rollable Ribbon can be spliced to conventional ribbon fibers (standard encapsulated ribbon or QS Ribbon) by ribbon to ribbon splice using conventional ribbon splicer

Rollable Ribbon is flexible in width direction and can be even rolled. This realizes high fiber density cable

ACCUMAX Distribution Cable

ACCUMAX fiber optic distribution, Low Smoke Zero Halo-gen (LS0H) cables have the flexibility to handle virtually any application between the building entrance and the desktop in most environments from office to factory floor. ACCUMAX LS0H, non lead cable is especially suitable for installation in riser shafts, above drop ceilings, under raised floors, or in conduits. This robust cable is available in a variety of fiber counts and offers all the advantages associated with the ACCUMAX cable product family including easier, faster, and lower installation cost.

Easy handling Faster, easier cable preparation Cable fiber counts are 2 to 144 Various fiber types are available Flame testing proved that ACCUMAX LS0H cables meet the IEC60332-3C and UL 1666 stan-

dards Smoke tests prove that ACCUMAX LS0H cables meet the IEC601034-2 standard The ACCUMAX cable design eliminates both the extra steps required to remove the jacket and

the risk of broken fibers. Each flexible riser rated jacket or unit can be ringed and slipped off with a simple tool, no ripcords or razor blades are required

Small diameter, lightweight cables occupy less space in trays and conduits, reduce loads, and contribute to greater efficiency during installation

V-LinxSpool & Play Solution

The Multi Dwelling Unit (MDU) environment offers

a significant challenge to the network provider.

Ranging from older existing buildings to new con-

structed facilities, the cabling strategy can vary

greatly.

The new V-Linx spool and play solution introduced

by OFS is designed to address the varying condi-

tions in MDU infrastructure.

Uniquely designed for dense, multi-floor units, the

V-Linx Solution provides components that can be configured flexibly to address the profusion of

cabling conditions within both Greenfield and Brownfield environments.

The deployment of the V-Linx solution can significantly speed installation and requires less labor to

install the backbone by using our short length spool-and-play technology.

A simple set of spool-and-play hardware allows a small service team of one or two people to install

the entry distribution cabinet, route a few factory-built riser assemblies, and plug drop boxes to the

riser quickly and efficiently into the MDU.

The system is designed to minimize multiple long-run riser installations and eliminate splice time.

These hubs are designed to enable small crews to deploy entire systems in hours versus tradition-

al large crews taking days.

Easier installation allows companies to start providing services sooner Better cost-benefit relation due to lower overall installation costs Lower hardware costs than traditional systems Less manpower and resources needed for installation and maintenance Shorter spans can minimize cable pulling issues Preinstalled factory assembly helps reduce labor to prepare drop boxes Integrated multiple mounting methods can simplify installation in unknown

V-Linx Fiber Distribution Hub

The V-Linx Fiber Distribution Hub (FDH) can support up to 144 units/128 splitter ports and is designed for NEMA 12 performance. The FDH is size optimized by leverag-ing the very compact PLC splitter. Its flexible design sup-ports either mass fusion splicing in the field or rapid con-nection through multifiber push-on (MPO) terminations. The mounting hardware is re-configurable to support a variety of wall mounting scenarios in both Greenfield and Brownfield deployments. The FDH is also designed to be installed by a single technician.

Design enabled by AllWave FLEX ZWP Fiber Uses compact PLC splitter technology Quick provision of circuits with SCA connectors Minimal cable management from use of optimized splitter cable lengths

V-Linx Combiner

The V-Linx Combiner aggregates the optical paths from up to six V-Linx terminals (up to 72 individual units). Using the same compact chassis as the V-Linx terminal, the V-Linx Combiner is configured with preterminated AccuFlex PLUS Optical ribbon interconnect cable assemblies in the factory for quick set up and installation in the field (supporting 1335 N of axial load). The cable provides excel-lent transmission performance, flexibility, and connectivity in a very small package (8.4 mm diameter). The V-Linx Combiner provides all the necessary assistance to allow a single person to install the entire cable between floors. It uses multifiber push-on (MPO) connector technology which enables a very compact aggregation point from multiple V-Linx Terminals.

Capable of serving up to 72 units, the V-Linx cable is configured with up to six, 12-fiber ribbon cables, and connects the Fiber Distribution Hub (FDH) to the V-Linx Combiner. The V-Linx cable is a riser rated AccuFlex PLUS Optical ribbon interconnect cable (supporting 1335N of axial load) which provides excellent transmission performance, flexibility and connectivity in a very small package (8.4 mm diameter).The V-Linx cable can be configured at the factory with MPO connectors on one or both ends of the cable assembly.

Compact size Supports aggregation of up to 72 units (60 units most common) Uses multi-fiber connector interface Integrated with V-Linx cables at the factory Field integration of V-Linx cables optional

V-Linx Terminal

The V-Linx Terminal is a comprehensive, multifunctional 12-port terminal system that combines fiber storage and a hands-free payoff feature in a single factory-terminated device. The input cable for the V-Linx Terminal is a 15.24 m twelve-fiber pretermi-nated drop cable installed at the factory. The drop cables are terminated with Multifiber Push On (MPO) connectors providing the interface with the V-Linx Combiner for a collective floor distribution design within a building. The distribution side of the V-Linx Terminal provides transition to twelve single-fiber SCA adapters allowing individual drops to 12 living units. The V-Linx Terminal features OFS bend-optimized AllWave FLEX ZWP Fiber enabling superior optical performance within the terminal and the integrated cable tether. The cable spool is integrated on the assembly itself for quick set-up and installation in the field. The V-Linx Installation Tool provides all the neces-sary assistance to allow a single person to install the entire cable between floors.
