| Fujikura Aids FTTH Roll-Out with New Bend-Resistant Fibre Fujikura Europe has brought fibre to the home one stage closer with the launch of a new bend-resistant fibre. The product – FutureGuide SR7.5 – has a minimum bend radius of just 7.5mm, making it one of the most flexible fibres in the world. Available in a MageTsuyo SR7.5 patch cord, the fibre is flexible and highly durable: when twisted or bent the fibre returns to its original condition without any deformation or marking on the sheath. With the ability to be manipulated in the same way as electrical or telephone cable, the fibre can be used to deliver high bandwidth communications directly into the home or office environment. The qualities of this fibre have also allowed Fujikura to develop a number of new, smaller, more space-efficient closures, including connector plugs and sockets. The MageTsuyo SR7.5 patch cord has an outer diameter of 4mm. The cord can withstand tension of up to 68.5N and lateral pressure of up to 1200N/25mm. The SR7.5 follows the launch last year of the SR15, which has been deployed extensively in patch cords, indoor cable and drop cables. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
