FlexRibbon™:
breaking industry records

PRYSMIAN

At the optical networking and communication conference & exhibition (March 3-7 in San Diego, California) Prysmian presented its 6,912 fibre FlexRibbon™ cable. This has the highest fibre count within the industry.

“With this amount of fibre in a single cable, we concentrated on a product design that would provide installers and splicers with craft friendliness and superior fibre management,” said Phillipe Vanhille, Executive Vice President Telecom Business at Prysmian Group. “We confirm our commitment to constantly investing in our optical fibre and cable capacities to support our customers in developing new reliable and cost-effective broadband networks.”

The ultra-compact outside plant cable design contains 6,912 bend-insensitive fibres, yet has a diameter small enough to fit into a 50.8mm/2” duct. Using FlexRibbon technology, ribbons are rolled up and packed together in small diameter sub-units. These 200 ųm fibre ribbons still provide the advantages of mass fusion splicing. Originally designed for use by hyperscale data centre customers, 6,912 fibre MassLink has potential uses in all telecom markets.

Addition of the 6,912 fibre cable further expands Prysmian’s portfolio of MassLink Fibre Cable with FlexRibbon Technology, which includes also 1,728 and 3,456 fibre count FlexRibbon products, fitting into a 31.75mm/1.25” and 38.1mm/1.50” duct, respectively.

At Prysmian’s booth -#1739- the Karona Overblow System was also on display. This enables the installation of high-density optical fibre cable into pre-existing sub-ducted routes, which contain existing legacy cable. Prysmian Group’s portfolio for multi-conductor FTTA hybrid cables for mobile applications were also shown, along with the company’s offering in the area of optical connectivity solutions. These products provide flexibility in design, modularity for easy upgrades and superior quality performance for all cable management needs.

The Group also presented its offering for optical fibre, including BendBrightXS and 200µm BendBrightXS Prysmian’s bend-insensitive fibres, which enable a new generation of ultra-high fibre count optical cables, as well as WideCap-OM5, Prysmian’s multimode fibre optimised for WDM transceivers.

At the event, Prysmian representatives participated in the workshop “What is a Real Killer Application of SDM, Telecom or Non-Telecom?”, on March 3. Alain Bertaina held a speech on “Fibre cable density: a growing hyperscale need. State of the art and next steps” and Pierre Sillard took part in to the expert panel.
