UniteFiber’s Fiber to the Building (FTTB) Cables and Aerial Self-Supporting Single Mode Fiber Cable
Fiber to the building (FTTB) projects are using a variety of network equipment to bring optical signals to the basements or living areas of multi-dwelling units. UniteFiber offers a variety of products for these projects including ASU aerial and GYTA duct fiber cable.
ASU is an all-dielectric self-supporting fiber optic cable designed for FTTH outdoor installations. It is suitable for pole span of 80m and 120m.
Aerial Self-Supporting Optical Cable
The cable is engineered with premium copper wires to provide fast charging and high durability. The cable is asu-fiber-optic-cable also designed with a built-in chip that safeguards against overcharging and overvoltage, ensuring your devices are safe while charging.
It is ideal for transitioning from aerial to ducted network deployments and supports local network loop architectures. It can be supplied on high-strength, durable reels typically spanning 3 km to facilitate easy transportation and field handling.
Fiber optic cables function as “light guides” – a light source at one end of the cable is pulsed on and off to create an optical signal, which travels all the way to the other end. A light-sensitive receiver at the other end converts these pulses back into digital ones and zeroes.
A key component of a fiber-optic cable is the core, which is a single, continuous strand of glass or plastic that’s measured (in diameter) by its maximum length. A protective cladding layer surrounds the core and helps to keep the signal from reflecting back towards the source.
The outer sheath of the cable is made from a tough, weatherproof material that’s also impervious to chemicals. The cable has round cable profiles to minimize wind and ice loading, and it conforms to the existing technical standards for outdoor overhead cables. The cable’s all-dielectric loose tube construction ensures its stability, as well as excellent performance in crushing, impact, and torsion.
Aerial Self-Supporting Aerial Fiber Cable
The ASU fiber optic cable is a highly reliable solution for short-distance telco local loops, LANs and point-to-point links in cities, buildings, factories or office parks. Its high-quality construction is compatible with OS1 and can support speeds up to 10G over distances up to about 6 miles (10 kilometers). It also offers an easy installation process. There is no gel to clean up and the connectors are pre-installed, allowing the installer to simply “fan out” the cables into their appropriate positions. Additionally, it can be installed in a range of environments, including outdoor and indoor.
ASU is a self-supporting cable with a fully dielectric core and FRP strength member that serves as a traction element. It can be installed in aerial, duct and direct-buried applications. It has a maximum pole span of 80m and 120m, depending on the application. It is available on high-strength reels spanning 3 km to make transportation and field handling easier.
Ribbon fiber is a form of optical fiber cable with multiple optical fibers in one ribbon, and is typically used to provide higher data transmission rates than ordinary optical cable. However, ribbon fiber is more difficult to splice than ordinary optical cable. This is due to the fact that the optical fiber ribbons are not accurately aligned when they are spliced together.
Aerial Self-Supporting Single Mode Fiber Cable
Aerial Self-Supporting Single Mode Fiber Cable is used to provide telecommunications networks with high bandwidth, long distance and anti-electromagnetic interference capability. It features a loose tube structure and can contain up to 12 optical fibers. Each optical fiber is protected from moisture using jelly to fill the tube and hydro-expandable material. It is also protected from the environment by an abrasion resistant, oversized tube filled with gel and FRP reinforcement elements on both sides. It is also easy to handle and install with no need for strings and grounding, which eliminates electrical discharges.
Unlike multimode fiber, which is a bundle of 144 optical cores each coated in reflective cladding, Single Mode Fiber has a narrower core that only allows one light wave to travel at a time. This smaller core reduces the amount of distortion that would occur from overlapping light pulses, which enables much higher transmission speeds and longer distances than other fiber cables. It is commonly seen in telephone and cable television networks across North America. ASU fiber optic cable comes in a variety of sizes and shapes, including loose-tube cable for most outside plant applications and multi-fiber tight-buffered cable for alternative routing flexibility and handling ease within buildings.
Occasionally, more technical customers will ask for Fiber cable and give you specific types like OM3. The best way to know which type they need is by knowing what their application requires. UnitekFiber will be happy to review your project requirements and recommend the appropriate type of fiber.
Aerial Self-Supporting Multimode Fiber Cable
Fiber optics transmit light signals much better than copper cables over long distances, and you’ll notice that your wireless internet is faster when connected through fiber. This is due to the fact that attenuation—the weakening of a signal over time—is less of a problem with fiber. The center of a fiber, called the Core, plays a big role in how far an optical signal can travel. The smaller the core, the more direct a path the signal can take through the cable and the lower the attenuation.
Multimode fiber gives you high bandwidth over shorter distances by dispersing the wavelengths of light into multiple paths as they travel down the core. However, over longer cable runs, these multiple paths of light can cause distortion multimode fiber optic cable assemblies supplier at the receiver end, which reduces the quality and speed of your data transmission.
Single Mode fiber has a smaller core and transmits a single wave of light. It has higher transmission rates than multimode fiber but is more expensive.
UnitekFiber’s ASU fiber cable is ideal for transitioning from aerial to duct or direct-buried networks and comes in spans up to 120m. It’s also fully dielectric, which means it does not conduct electrical energy and can safely be placed in ducts with other wired cables that are carrying electrical power.
