The cable is armoured using one layer of galvanized round steel wires (GSW). The GSW provides mechanical and rodent protection. This armoured optical cable is designed for external underground installations. Heavy protected. Designed for installation in areas where mechanical impact is expected.

HSE EXTR@CORE® is a frontier fibre cables breaking new ground. Our latest test equipment brings trial and error to a completely new level, replicating forces only found in the most hostile black soil of Australia. The first result, HSE EXTR@CORE®, was above all expectations. It’s the toughest direct burial High Strength cable yet. The HSE EXTR@CORE is qualified using enhanced Axial Compression Resistance (ACR) test method. It’s small, lightweight and available in lengths up to 10.5 km. All these features…

We believe that bend-insensitive optical fibres shouldn't have to come at the expense of other characteristics. In order to enhance the world's most deployed single mode optical fibre, the G.652 standard, Prysmian invented the BendBright® family comprising of BendBright® and BendBrightXS. They have a bend sensitivity reduction of x10 and x100 respectively as compared to G.652 without compromising on quality. Important features of the BendBright® family: • Compliance with the most stringent ITU-T G.652.D recommendation. • Capacity for tighter, high-end…

This Loose tube dielectric optical cable is designed for external underground installations in ducts by pulling, jetting or floating techniques or by direct burial in open-cut trenches. The cable is designed for installation in areas where mechanical impact is expected. Two types of sheaths can be provided with the Central Loosetube Optical Cable: – UV stabilised Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LS0H), flame retardant compound in compliance with AS 1049. – UV stabilised Polyethylene (PE) with Nylon jacket for enhanced termite…

Our size-reduced SM@RTCORE® range of fibre optic loose tube cables saves you space, time and money. It’s easier to install and you can increase the number of fibres in a duct, lower the number of ducts needed or extend the life of existing ducts. Plus, the strong, still smooth, polyethylene/nylon sheath protects against termites and reduces friction. With duct space becoming an increasingly sought after commodity, the new cable offers many advantages to network owners. SM@RTCORE® is manufactured with a…

MaxCap-BB-OMx combines two of our industry-leading technologies: MaxCap high bandwidth multimode fibre and BendBright bend-insensitive single-mode optical fibre technology. MaxCap-BB-OM2 / OM2+ / OM3 / OM4 optical fibres support compact cable management. This new class of MaxCap multimode fibre combines the support of improved fibre management, with high bandwidth 10G – 40G – 100G system requirements. Improved flexibility for MACs (Moves, Adds, Changes) applied in Local Area Network (LAN) backbones up to 550m (10GBASE-SX), in Data Centres up to 170m…

Multimode fibres are intended for all applications where the distances covered are short, such as Local Area Networks (LAN) or all networks with a small reach like campus, buildings or offices. OM3 fibre will support link lengths greater than 1000 meters at both 850nm and 1300nm in LAN applications. A multimode fibre also enables connections for backbone, riser and horizontal links. All these networks are characterised as having many points of access to the fibre and the short distances covered.…

Multimode fibres are intended for all applications where the distances covered are short, such as Local Area Networks (LAN) or all networks with a small reach like campus, buildings or offices. OM1 fibre will support link lengths greater than 400 meters at 850nm and 1000 meters at 1300nm in LAN applications. A multimode fibre also enables connections for backbone, riser and horizontal links. All these networks are characterised as having many points of access to the fibre and the short…

Long distance and metropolitan non-zero dispersion shifted fibres developed for optimized dispersion characteristics in high-capacity, long-distance networks. Our TeraLight® fibre is available in 2 versions, the regular TeraLight® and the TeraLight® Ultra. The benefit of the former is the minimization of your chromatic dispersion compensation while the latter is optimized for ultra-long transmission. Both versions offer: • Solutions for long haul and metropolitan transmissions. • Excellent distortion management. • Cost effective operation at 10 and 40 Gbps. • Tight channel…

This series is part of the most deployed fibre type worldwide and can be used in all cable constructions including loose tube, tight buffered, ribbon and central tube designs. We offer two types, standard and enhanced. The enhanced Single-Mode Fibre (ESMF) is compliant with ITU-T Recommendation G.652, Table D. The tighter geometrical, attenuation and PMD specifications of the enhanced type enables superior performance in long haul, metropolitan, access and premises applications for telecommunications, CATV and utility networks.
