Asia first for Prysmian at Communicasia 2009 with Casalight Xtreme

Singapore, 25 May 2009 - Prysmian Cables & Systems, one of the world's leading players in the cable industry, will be showcasing its latest range of Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) technologies at CommunicAsia 2009 in Singapore, June 16th – 19th. Among the products on show will be Prysmian’s latest high performance optical fibre, CasaLightTM Xtreme.

CasaLightTM Xtreme - Prysmian’s ultra bend insensitive fibre - has a bending radius down to 5mm, far exceeding the requirements of the toughest specifications currently used in the telecoms industry. It has been designed specifically for the most demanding FTTH applications where cables must withstand sharp 90 degree bends, rough handling and severe installation techniques such as the use of staple guns.

Eugene Tay, Commercial Director Telecom – ASEAN, who will be present at the event, commented: “With an ever growing consumer demand for greater bandwidth, Prysmian continues to be highly committed to bringing innovative Broadband solutions to homes throughout Asia.“

“At this year’s CommunicAsia, we will be displaying a wide range of products. In addition to CasaLightTM Xtreme, we will be demonstrating our VertiCasa™ MDU cabling system, Sirocco® Blown fibre and our Quickdraw® preconnectorised solution, all of which are ideal to meet the region’s infrastructure growth needs. We believe that FTTH provision is a key to economic growth across Asia and specifically in Singapore. As providers of the passive infrastructure, it’s critical that we continue with our product innovation to ensure reliable future-proofed networks.”

With its ASEAN headquarters in Singapore and factories in Indonesia, Australia and China, plus offices in Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and Hong-Kong - Prysmian is truly a local and global company.
