Considerations in outside fiber-optic cable design

Considerations in outside fiber-optic cable design

The Outside Plant network is evolving due to ever increasing bandwidth demands and the push to drive fiber deeper and deeper into the network. Because of these trends we are seeing rising demand for fiber counts greater than 1000 fibers in one cable and simultaneously the desire to pack more and more fiber into a smaller cross sectional footprint. These demands require installers and designers to leverage different cable designs to meet current network complexity.

Distributed sensing cable in industrial environments

Distributed sensing cable in industrial environments

Imagine being able to continuously, accurately, and in real-time detect small acoustic, temperature, and/or strain changes anywhere along an optical cable in the outside plant environment. And depending on the inter-rogation unit or laser source used, you could have the ability to detect various environmental events at distances from ones to tens of kilometers away, with large numbers of distributed “virtual” sensors along the path. This is possible by using optical fiber in an industrial network as the intrinsic sensing medium.

Fiber-optic cabling in strange and unusual places

Fiber-optic cabling in strange and unusual places

Many of the unusual environments in which you find fiber-optic cabling are physically demanding on the infrastructure and require it to have rugged physical characteristics. Consideration must be made in selecting the necessary components to meet the demands of the harsh environments in which the network must operate.

Tray-Rated Fiber Optic Cables

Independently Tested

Ensuring Performance and Reliability in Your Industrial Network

Ensuring Performance and Reliability in Your Industrial Network

To ensure our products are suitable for the extreme conditions and rigorous standards found in industrial applications, all of our low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH™) cables are independently tested to meet or exceed the requirements for tray-rated copper cabling with reliable and rugged performance.

Communications Stability

Providing data integrity in rugged environments

Providing data integrity in rugged environments

Corning’s tray-rated cables provide advantages that not all cabling media can provide.

Our LSZH tray-rated cables are noise free, so no electronic noise can interfere with or disrupt data transmission. Additionally, customers are able to avoid the grounding requirements necessary with copper systems.

The glass in our optical cables is non-conductive, and our cables offer crush and impact resistance without the use of conductive armoring that requires grounding.

Network Usability

Taking your network further with simplified products

Taking your network further with simplified products

Installation of optical cable has continued to become easier, and our LSZH™ tray-rated cables can be deployed in an industrial network up to 50% faster than legacy methods.

In addition, our cables enable much longer cable runs than in copper-based networks; for example, our cables are guaranteed to provide 1 Gigabit Ethernet throughput for at least 1000 meters, so no repeaters or amplifiers are needed.
