Sumitomo
Electric Industries, Ltd. has a new series of ultra-high-fiber-count
ribbon cables to meet the growing need for high fiber density in data centers.
The new cables are available in fiber counts of 1152, 1728, and 3456.
Pliable Ribbon Technology The cables feature a slotted configuration for
easy handling and quick fiber identification. Among the series, the
highest-fiber-count cable accommodates 3456 fibers in an outer diameter of 34
mm while withstanding direction-free bending, and thus allows for easy
installation in a 2-inch duct space. The Company's pliable ribbon technology
enables the 12-fiber ribbon to easily conform to small diameters and to be
spliced with a conventional 12-fiber mass fusion splicer. The cables are
available in two types: with a steel strength member or an all-dielectric
strength member in the center of the cable.
Also featured is
a dry water-blocking tape that requires no cable flooding gels, thereby
eliminating the cleaning and blocking preparation associated with standard
gel-filled cables. The use of a completely dry cable speeds up overall
installation, termination, and splicing while significantly saving customers'
time and costs.
These cables
are a part of an ultra-high-density solution including fiber optic cabinets,
closures, and pre-terminated hardware. With these products and solutions,
Sumitomo Electric will build its competitive advantage in the industry.
