New family of gel-free optical cables
Corning Cable Systems, USA, an industry-leading manufacturer of fibre optic communications network infrastructure solutions, has recently introduced an innovative family of gel-free optical cables, LANscape® Pretium™ solutions product, available in ALTOS®, SST-Ribbon™ and FREEDM® cables.
The product family represents a significant technological breakthrough in optical cable design by removing all gels from the cable and replacing them with specially engineered dry water-blocking tapes and yarns, using field-proven super-absorbent polymer technology. This new family of gel-free optical cables offers several benefits, including reduced cable preparation time, which results in quicker network deployment for capturing revenues. Additional benefits include the removal of gel-cleaning solvents and other consumables from the workplace, reduced fusion splicer maintenance and elimination of the mess associated with gel removal. The cables have been successfully deployed in both aerial and underground applications using a variety of installation techniques with no special installation or cable preparation procedures required.
The patent-pending cable designs are fully compliant to the appropriate ICEA and Telcordia cable standards. The gel-free cables have also been subjected to a battery of additional testing beyond the typical requirements defined within prevailing industry standards to ensure the gel-free designs meet real-world demands. LANscape® Pretium™ solutions is the premier fibre cabling solution for LANs and Data centres. Combining innovative products with award-winning technical support and engineering services, LANscape Pretium solutions brings high-performance and ease-of-use attributes to the customer.
