OFS EZ-Bend Optical Technology
OFS #39; New EZ-Bend trade; Optical Technology can improve bending performance of optical fiber cables by up to 100 times to help avoid service disruptions and lower installation costs. Supporting multiple dwelling unit (MDU) and in-home wiring applications, the ground-breaking EZ-Bend Technology addresses the critical need to speed and simplify installations by allowing optical fiber cables to be bent and routed in ways never before feasible using traditional optical drop cables, to facilitate rapid deployment of fiber to and within the residence. Service providers need drop cables that support tight corner bends and stapling. The EZ-Bend Technology enables in-residence optical cable installation with the same simple practices used for copper or coaxial cables. Cables using EZ-Bend Technology can be stapled in place utilizing existing copper cable installation tools and routed around corners. Its bending loss performance represents up to a 100-fold improvement over conventional single-mode fiber (SMF) type cables. This demonstration shows a live video stream supported over optical cables using EZ-Bend Technology bent around numerous corners and stapled, with no degradation in picture quality. In contrast, a conventional cable subjected to far less bending shuts down the video and "freezes" the screen. This is because the EZ-Bend Technology enables negligible video signal loss (0.1 dB maximum at 1550 nm) for one turn at 5 mm radius, while conventional fibers under the same ...From:OFSopticsViews:15 0ratingsTime:02:41More inPeople Blogs
