commented, “With their continued focus on reducing costs, our customers can now capitalize on the installation and cost benefits of MiDia FX cable. Available with 12 to 144 fibbers from a full range of OFS application-specific fibbers, MiDia FX Cable is the latest innovation in OFS’ extensive line of OSPcable products, building upon the company’s expertise in the development and expansion of microcable technology.”
fiber specialized for 1.3µm wavelength band where signal distortion can be suppressed. OFS expands microcable range Diversified fibre optic system and cable developer OFS is continuing to expand its range of microcables with the addition of MiDia FX Cable, which is designed to make fibre cable deployment faster and less costly, especially in locations
where space is at a premium. Featuring optimized buffer tubes and jacket rifling specifically designed for excellent air-blown installation performance using microducts, MiDia FX Cable can boost capacity and fibre density in limited spaces, while cutting installation costs. The cable also complies with Telecordia GR-20 standard. Pierre Marty, Executive VP Sales and Marketing for OFS,
optical properties of each core while suppressing core-to-core crosstalk. The company says it has developed for the first time an MCF with a cladding diameter of 125µm, and therefore equivalent to standard optical fibers. This includes eight cores with low core-to-core crosstalk. The new MCF also has optical characteristics comparable to the standard single-mode
