Fiber Ribbon for Easy Separating

Rollable Ribbon
Optical fiber ribbon which optical fibers are bonded
in intervals. The fiber ribbon separation is surprisingly easy since it needs only unsticking the bonded
portion. Also, the ribbons can be rolled and the
rolled ribbons can be stranded. This new technology has realized extremely compact sized and light
weight high fiber-count cables.

Rollable Ribbon Cable combines good features of ribbon
fiber and single fiber. It was developed with the concept of
easy handling (small size and light weight) and enabling
easy mid-span branching. The diameter is 30% smaller and
the weight is 50% lighter than conventional aerial cable (SZ-
Optical Fiber Cable
Slotted Core Cable for Aerial).

Smaller diameter and lighter weight due to using Rollable Ribbon and not using slot spacer
Non slotted rod structure, like center core cable, and Rollable Ribbon make the cable size smaller and save space comparing to the conventional ribbon slotted core cable
Rollable Ribbon is especially adopted to mass fusion splice as standard ribbon
It has slack between the cable and the supporting wire to reduce wind pressure

ACCUMAX Distribution Cable
Optical Fiber Cable
ACCUMAX fiber optic distribution, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LS0H) cables have the flexibility to handle virtually any
application between the building entrance and the desktop
in most environments from office to factory floor. ACCUMAX
LS0H, non lead cable is especially suitable for installation in
riser shafts, above drop ceilings, under raised floors, or in
conduits. This robust cable is available in a variety of fiber
counts and offers all the advantages associated with the
ACCUMAX cable product family including easier, faster,
and lower installation cost.

Easy handling
Faster, easier cable preparation
Cable fiber counts are 2 to 144
Various fiber types are available
Flame testing proved that ACCUMAX LS0H cables meet the IEC60332-3C and UL 1666 standards
Smoke tests prove that ACCUMAX LS0H cables meet the IEC601034-2 standard
The ACCUMAX cable design eliminates both the extra steps required to remove the jacket and
the risk of broken fibers. Each flexible riser rated jacket or unit can be ringed and slipped off with
a simple tool, no ripcords or razor blades are required
Small diameter, lightweight cables occupy less space in trays and conduits, reduce loads, and
contribute to greater efficiency during installation

Strong, Reliable Performance

Some tests performed on an EZ-Bend 4.8 mm cable subjected to
a more stringent configuration than specified by the rigorous Verizon MDU simulation test (TPR 9424), showed over 65% better loss
performance than the 0.4 dB maximum specified for TPR 9424. In
one of the tests (pictured above), the EZ-Bend cable was enduring
the sum of 40 corners, 30 staples, one 90 degree corner with 30
lbs tension, one 90 degree corner with 5 lbs tension, with a very
low loss (pictured in the power meter window above). Also pictured

MDU
V-Linx
Spool & Play Solution
Indoor (V-Linx)
The Multi Dwelling Unit (MDU) environment offers

a significant challenge to the network provider.
Ranging from older existing buildings to new constructed facilities, the cabling strategy can vary
greatly.
The new V-Linx spool and play solution introduced
by OFS is designed to address the varying conditions in MDU infrastructure.
Uniquely designed for dense, multi-floor units, the
V-Linx Solution provides components that can be configured flexibly to address the profusion of
cabling conditions within both Greenfield and Brownfield environments.
The deployment of the V-Linx solution can significantly speed installation and requires less labor to
install the backbone by using our short length spool-and-play technology.

A simple set of spool-and-play hardware allows a small service team of one or two people to install
the entry distribution cabinet, route a few factory-built riser assemblies, and plug drop boxes to the
riser quickly and efficiently into the MDU.
The system is designed to minimize multiple long-run riser installations and eliminate splice time.
These hubs are designed to enable small crews to deploy entire systems in hours versus traditional large crews taking days.

Easier installation allows companies to start providing services sooner
Better cost-benefit relation due to lower overall installation costs
Lower hardware costs than traditional systems
Less manpower and resources needed for installation and maintenance
Shorter spans can minimize cable pulling issues
Preinstalled factory assembly helps reduce labor to prepare drop boxes
Integrated multiple mounting methods can simplify installation in unknown

The mounting hardware is re-configurable to support
a variety of wall mounting scenarios in both Greenfield
and Brownfield deployments. The FDH is also designed
to be installed by a single technician.

PLC Splitter Specifications
Offers compact PLC splitter with thirty-two 2.0 mm output legs and one 2.0

perhaps one of the smallest in the industry, and the factory terminated
configuration provides superior optical performance (17.2 dB max insertion loss).

V-Linx Combiner
The V-Linx Combiner aggregates the optical paths from up to six VLinx terminals (up to 72 individual units). Using the same compact
chassis as the V-Linx terminal, the V-Linx Combiner is configured
with preterminated AccuFlex PLUS Optical ribbon interconnect
cable assemblies in the factory for quick set up and installation in
the field (supporting 1335 N of axial load). The cable provides excellent transmission performance, flexibility, and connectivity in a very
small package (8.4 mm diameter). The V-Linx Combiner provides all
the necessary assistance to allow a single person to install the entire
cable between floors. It uses multifiber push-on (MPO) connector
technology which enables a very compact aggregation point from
multiple V-Linx Terminals.

to the V-Linx Combiner. The V-Linx cable is a riser rated AccuFlex PLUS
Optical ribbon interconnect cable (supporting 1335N of axial load) which
provides excellent transmission performance, flexibility and connectivity in
a very small package (8.4 mm diameter).
The V-Linx cable can be configured at the factory with MPO connectors on
one or both ends of the cable assembly.

V-Linx Terminal
The V-Linx Terminal is a comprehensive, multifunctional 12-port terminal

system that combines fiber storage and a hands-free payoff feature in a
single factory-terminated device.
The input cable for the V-Linx Terminal is a 15.24 m twelve-fiber preterminated drop cable installed at the factory. The drop cables are terminated
with Multifiber Push On (MPO) connectors providing the interface with the
V-Linx Combiner for a collective floor distribution design within a building.
The distribution side of the V-Linx Terminal provides transition to twelve
single-fiber SCA adapters allowing individual drops to 12 living units.
The V-Linx Terminal features OFS bend-optimized AllWave FLEX ZWP
Fiber enabling superior optical performance within the terminal and the
integrated cable tether.
The cable spool is integrated on the assembly itself for quick set-up and
installation in the field. The V-Linx Installation Tool provides all the necessary assistance to allow a single person to install the entire cable between
floors.
