| SAGEM, France, offers a new range of high-performance fibre optic cables, �SHEATH�, that suit all types of telecommunication networks: long-haul backbones as well as city rings and local access. They accommodate all standard and advanced NZD fibres and can be adapted to various rights-of-way, installation methods, and environmental conditions (ducted, direct-buried, aerial, sewers, fire hazard areas, etc.). They combine light-weight with high-capacity, essential characteristics for reducing installation costs.
�SHEATH� fibre optic cables are composed of watertight modules with 4, 6, 8 or 12 optical fibres identified by colour coding. The modules are then inserted in a structure reinforced by mechanical components. This structure gives the cable the required qualities equivalent to standard fibre optic cables. The range of �SHEATH� fibre optic cables varies from 4 to 1,440 optical fibres, and meets requirements for installations in ducts, and for buried, overhead and indoors cables. �SHEATH� modules and cables are IEC standardised. The innovative characteristics of the cable reduce costs associated with installations:
- Compact and light weight, lower weight and diameter;
- Compatible with all installation techniques by blowing, pulling or mechanised placement;
- High performances for low global cost.
