ROADMAP 2022 / SUPPLIERS’ DIRECTORY


When it comes to fibre cables themselves, it seems that high- density is still the big trend. OFS expanded its microcable product line with the RollR200 Central Core (CC) rollable ribbon Microcable, which features 432 optical fibres in a gel-free central core design, optimised for microduct installations. Te cable capitalises on the


company’s advancement in rollable ribbon. To form these ribbons, individual 200 micron fibres are partially bonded to each other at predetermined points which enables the benefit of mass fusion splicing capabilities in a significantly smaller cable


diameter to maximise fibre density in congested networks. Mass fusion splicing capability helps to simplify installation and save on splicing time and labour costs.


Te cable design features a


central core tube construction with helical strength elements for improved handling and installation capabilities. Te RollR200 Microcable’s Rollable Ribbons may be ‘rolled,’ compacted and routed like individual fibres to facilitate use in potentially smaller closures and splice trays. Specifically designed for air-blown installation using microduct systems, the rifled


outer jacket reduces cable friction during installation to increase installation lengths. In addition, the RollR200 CC Microcable’s greater fibre density can help to expand the capacity of existing pathways using smaller, lower-cost duct systems. Brian Maxwell, cable product


line manager for OFS, said: ‘Te RollR200 CC Microcable allows


our customers to install twice the fiber density of previous microcable offerings into common 13mm ID microducts with a 432f count construction as small as 10mm in diameter. Tis gain in density allows providers to maximize the use of their network duct systems and infrastructure, helping them save on both material and installation costs and conserve duct space for future upgrades or lease.’ Te company likewise


expanded its AccuRoll outside plant (OSP) fibre optic cable line, fuelled by the rollable ribbon technology. www.ofsoptics.com
