OFS Selected by Sierra Telephone to Deploy Microduct Cable in Central California Access Network; MiDia(R) FXplus Cable Offers Cost Effective Upgrade to 100% Fiber Network in California Metro Area.
ATLANTA -- ATLANTA, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- SuperComm, Booth # 23729 -- OFS, designer, manufacturer, and supplier of leading edge fiber optic products, today announced the successful deployment of its MiDia(R) FXplus cable by Sierra Telephone, a leading telecommunications services provider in Central California. The installation of the MiDia FXplus cable was an addition to Sierra Telephone's 100% fiber optic network, which delivers telephony services to business and residential customers. Sierra Telephone selected the MiDia FXplus cable, a new OFS microcable, to facilitate this installation of new fiber in a congested metro right-of-way.
"OFS' MiDia FXplus cable allowed us to install new fiber in both existing, congested ducts as well as into new ducts," explained John Warner, OSP Engineering Supervisor, Sierra Telephone. "Deployment of this microcable reduced the cost of this build by 65%. In addition, the use of this microcable minimized the consumption of space in sections of the route that contained new ducts, leaving the most amount of right-of-way for future network upgrades."
Designed for air-blown duct installations, the MiDia FXplus Cable is a loose tube cable that is more than 40% smaller than a standard loose tube cable with a comparable fiber count. Used in conjunction with microducts, the cable's small size and keen suitability for air-blown installation technology can dramatically lower installation costs of fiber optic deployments by creating routes through congested ducts. The ability to use space in existing ducts eliminates the need for invasive, costly construction of new duct right- of-ways in urban areas. With its diameter of 7.5 mm, the MiDia FXplus cable is one of two OFS microcables specifically designed to be installed in 12/10 mm microducts and, therefore, was ideal for Sierra Telephone's network upgrade.
Although designed and optimized for blown installations, the MiDia FXplus cable also has a 300-lb tensile rating and is fully compliant with the mechanical and environmental requirements of the industry's default standard, Telcordia GR-20.
OFS worked with Fiber Optic Supply, the leading distributor to the ILEC market in California, to identify the best cable product to meet Sierra Telephone's need for a cost ...
