Access Ready Construction (ARC)

Completely gel-free construction with easy-to-access and identify optical fibre circuits.>/p>

SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®) optical fibre technology

Easily ribbonized for mass fusion splicing. SWR is compacted and routed like individual fibres, which makes it ideal for organising slack loops in splice enclosures as there is no preferential bending of ribbon.

High fibre density

Significantly higher fibre density compared to traditional ribbon cables. It offers the ability to expand capacity of existing pathways and allows use of smaller, lower cost duct systems.

Smaller cable diameters and cable weights

Means longer reel lengths that allow for lower scrap rates, easier handling of reels at the site and reduced transportation costs.

Completely dry water-blocking technology

Reduces time required to prep cable-end and mid-span access resulting in labour savings.

Compact ribbon bundles

Reduces enclosure/splice tray size requirements, allowing for smaller telecommunications space allocation.

Armoured and non-armoured packages

Supports all the standard cable deployment options typically found in the OSP environment including duct, direct buried and aerial.

Fully qualified to Telcordia GR-20

Provides assurance that the cable will support optical fibre network transport functions now and into the future.
