FTTH Conference 2018, Stand S6 - OFS, a leading manufacturer of innovative fiber optic products, today launches a new All-Dielectric, SelfSupporting (ADSS) aerial loose tube fiber optic cable that offers an excellent, cost-effective option for short aerial cable spans.
Optimized for aerial and duct installation, the compact PowerGuide200 SkyLight Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable features a small outer cable diameter and round profile that help to minimize environmental loading created by wind and ice. This capability helps to reduce cable sag and tensile forces on poles while also enabling the use of lighter installation hardware.
The PowerGuide200 SkyLight Cable offers a number of additional benefits that can help ease the deployment process and create potential-cost saving opportunities. This cable’s small size and bend radius enable easier handling along with fast, one-step installation using simple attachment hardware which can help to save on deployment time and expense. Furthermore, the PowerGuide200 SkyLight Cable allows installers to increase the distance between splice points and enables the use of smaller drums, which is a major benefit in city deployments where space is at a premium.
Other design benefits include an easily strippable sheath for fast cable preparation, and alldielectric loose tube construction that eliminates the need for expensive cable shielding or grounding. The PowerGuide200 SkyLight Cable features OFS AllWave® FLEX 200 micron (µm) Bend Optimized Optical Fiber, designed to accommodate tight, low loss bends without risking fiber strength and long-term reliability. This fiber also requires 30% less area than conventional 250 µm coated fiber, which enables smaller diameter cables and a greater number of fibers per buffer tube. The PowerGuide200 SkyLight Cable has 24 fibre/tube modularity.
Note: PowerGuide SkyLight Cable is available with 12 fibre/tube modularity using 250 micron fibre.
