“On a 144F cable, mass fusion splicing 12F-to-12F requires 92% fewer splices than single fiber-to-fiber splicing. That’s a huge time savings for our installers,” comments Teresa Hoffman, fiber product line manager for Berk-Tek. She adds, "Ribbon cables also create a smaller footprint in splice enclosures and simplify fiber management in the equipment room."
Berk-Tek now offers a range of ribbon cable solutions, including indoor plenum, indoor riser, indoor/outdoor riser, and indoor plenum flex versions, available in fiber counts up to 864. The products are available for immediate purchase; learn more here.
Also this month, Berk-Tek has introduced its LANmark-SST, a high-performing, small-diameter Category 6A cable.
Per the manufacturer, "LANmark-SST is the smallest diameter Category 6A CMP UTP construction available, at 0.25 inches. This reduced diameter offers better flexibility, optimized cable management, and improved tray-fill ratio than the average Category 6A cable, making it ideal for high-density installations."
