New cable allows for a broader combination of fiber counts and span lengths
Spartanburg, SC (PRWEB) July 31, 2014
AFL is expanding its All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ASS) product line with the introduction of Flex-Span ADSS, an aerial fiber optic cable engineered for the most demanding environmental conditions. Flex-Span allows for a broader combination of fiber counts and span lengths, providing greater flexibility in product selection and design options.
“As AFL expanded its ADSS cable solution, we focused on the needs of our customers,” commented Jon Potter, product manager for AFL’s cable line. “Flex-Span is a customizable, highly optimized solution that is easy-to-use and ideal for aerial applications where short to mid-span length is needed.”
With Flex-Span, network installation efficiency is optimized. Similar to standard ADSS, Flex-Span uses dry-core technology and contains gel-filled buffer tubes that are S-Z stranded for easy mid-span access. Flex-Span requires no support or messenger wire easing installation.
