SOLUTIONS
Quick, Secure, Cost-Effective Installation
- Fiber bundles are installed at speeds up to 150 ft per minute
- Installing 3,000 ft takes only two installers 30 minutes compared to up to four installers 8 hours for conventional cable solutions
Improved Safety and No Disruption
- Fiber bundles are installed point-to-point through terminal areas
- No need to have crews working overhead, on cable trays, or within crowded environments
- Easy installation without lifts, ladders, or other potentially hazardous equipment
Tube Pathway Provides Valuable Flexibility
- Changes to fiber optic routes can be made by reconnecting push-fit couplers at TDUs
- Open tubes provide future readiness and flexibility
- Allows for shared CapEx across multiple groups or investments as individual tubes of the larger tube cable can be routed to support specific, varied networks
- Future requirements can be installed in hours instead of days, weeks, or months
FUTUREFLEX® AIR-BLOWN FIBER® SOLUTION
Air-blown cable can be installed faster and over longer distances than traditional, pulled cable installations
- Future-ready with no dark fibers required, technicians can easily add or swap out fibers without disrupting campus operations
- The solution consists of five key components: tube cables, fiber bundles, distribution equipment, fiber-termination equipment, and blowing equipment
- Deploy in three easy steps: create an end-to-end tube cable pathway that best suits the specific campus, select and install the right fiber bundle for today, and terminate the fibers
