29-05-2018
Spartanburg, SC – AFL, a leading manufacturer of fiber optic cable and accessories, is exhibiting at Fiber Connect 2018 and featuring its latest in optical connectivity, fiber optic cable and equipment solutions. AFL will be showcasing a new compact splicing and distribution enclosure, 200 µm buffered OSP MicroCore cable and the new FOCIS Duel Fiber Inspection Tool in booth #1507.
AFL’s LightLink LL-550 Optical Splicing and Distribution Enclosure is a compact wall-mounted enclosure that provides for organizing, splicing and interconnecting fibers. This enclosure is ideal for business service hand-offs, MDU distribution and connectivity, cellular backhaul and other commercial services that require weather-proof field connectivity, but may have size constraints. The LL-550 is available with up to 48 SC UPC or APC connections as well as a splice-only configuration for up to 144 single fusion splices or 576 ribbon fibers with mass fusion.
The LM200-Series OSP MicroCore product design integrates the latest technology, 200 μm buffered single-mode fiber which allows for reduced diameter cables compared to traditional OSP micro-cables. Available from 24 to 432-fibers, the cable consists of a multi-fiber-set, gel-filled buffer tube construction. With the low-friction, high-strength overall jacketing system, the cable core is protected and supports high-speed, long-distance jetting performance.
FOCIS Duel is a fiber inspection probe with two optical ports, one optimized for fast subjective patch cord end-face inspection, with the second port supporting all the comprehensive features of AFL’s FOCIS Flex inspection system. FOCIS Duel has no moving parts and requires no operator adjustments to deliver fast automatic image analysis to industry standards and custom criteria. Linked wirelessly to AFL’s aeRos® cloud-based work flow management platform, FOCIS Duel is a complete solution.
Additional products being exhibited at AFL’s booth include Wrapping Tube Cable with SpiderWeb Ribbon®, TITAN RTD® FTTx system, FASTConnect® and FUSEConnect® field installable connectors, fusion splicers plus fiber management solutions.
