INDUSTRIAL AND ENERGY
In the industrial and energy space, fiber optic networks enable important and vital applications, including:
- Security
- System monitoring
- Control systems
- Distributed antenna systems
- Information technology
Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s (SEL) products and solutions provide a complete end-to-end passive network that meets today’s requirements and is flexible to quickly respond to changing demands. SEL’s FutureFLEX® Air-Blown Fiber® Solution (ABF) boasts features and benefits that provide an ideal solution for fiber optic network installations to tackle aging and outdated systems, and to make rapid changes in the ever-evolving industrial and energy space.
Transit systems run for extended hours and down times for servicing and other activities are limited and schedules are tightly controlled. As mass transit data needs and technologies change, so do performance, service, and environmental requirements. SEL understands the goals and needs of today’s mass transit industry – more cable in less space, high volume, close proximity to both people and sensitive technology and hardware, and keeping tight schedules on track.
We offer a full line of solutions for transit applications that optimizes your mission-critical network infrastructure.
SOLUTIONS
Quick, Secure, Cost-Effective Installation
- Fiber bundles ranging from 6-72 fibers 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
- Air-blown fiber systems are completely closed and cannot be used as a conduit for unauthorized cabling
No Disruption to Facilities
- Fiber bundles are installed point-to-point without technicians needing access to secure areas
- No need to have crews working overhead, on cable trays, or over sensitive equipment
- 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
Our experts will work with you to find the best solution to fit your needs – both now and in the future.
