Corporate 030.8070 More Production Capacities for Fiber Optic Cables Focused on growth: R&M is further expanding its fiber optic cable production plant in Děčín, Czech Republic. The investments open up new opportunities for developers to implement innovative cable designs – and already present the first ones. R&M is continuously modernizing its existing systems with the aim of expanding production capacity for fiber optic cables. Two new extrusion lines have been installed at the plant in recent months. One of the new lines is a sheathing system for stranded cable 050.7401 050.7402 R&M is expanding its machinery at the cable plant in the Czech Republic to continuously increase the production capacity for fiber optic cables. assemblies. It makes it possible to develop further designs in addition to the existing cable constructions. For example, cables with colored longitudinal stripes, aerial drop and feeder cables in single or double jackets for span lengths of up to 200 m as well as micro cables with optimized surface structures for improved blowability. Another extrusion line produces the semi-finished «loose tubes», which can be designed in a more versatile way. In particular, the diameter modularity is expanded and the wires can be produced with or without gel filling. Fiber optic range growing The R&M cable developers tackled the new possibilities early on and are now presenting some interesting new cable constructions. This includes the InHome Drop Cord, which was designed for Fiber in the Home or Fiber to the Office applications. Its simplex design is similar to that of a patch cord and meets the DCA classification as listed by the CPR. Suitable for direct connector mounting, it can also be mounted in the field and fits perfectly with FO Field connectors. In addition, the cable construction features a unique, densely buffered fiber construction that allows for peelability of up to 150 mm. Manufacturers can look forward to the wider range of Simplex patch cords. The range includes diameters of 1.7, 2.0, 2.4, 2.7 and 3.0 mm. The MiniCore breakout cables for terminating MPO connectors are another highlight. Up to six individual cables (Mini- Core) are combined under a common jacket. Each MiniCore can be equipped with up to 12 fibers, with aramid yarn providing strain relief. The cables are suitable for the direct termination of multi-fiber connectors (MPO) as well as for use with corresponding mini dividers for the production of data cables in distribution networks or for horizontal and collapsed backbone cabling. www.rdm.com/ fiber-optic-cable/ Lars Züllig | Product Manager lars.zuellig@rdm.com 050.6544 050.7206 24 | CONNECTIONS 10|2023–65
News More Space for Splice Trays From family homes to building complexes – the Polaris box family from R&M ensures flexible optical termination both indoors and out. Now the terminal boxes are getting a new interior. This means even more space for additional splice trays. Buildings, data centers and industrial environments require ever-increasing capacity in fiber optic networks. This also requires a higher density of optical fibers and splice connections in the termination enclosures. To increase the capacity of the splice trays, R&M has designed new fiber inserts for the entire Polaris box family. With the space gained, even more subscribers can now be separated and splice capacity increased. Five family additions The Polaris boxes SCM 24 and 36 are the spearhead of the family. They hold up to 24 or 36 FMTS 30 splice trays. The following cassettes are available: 1TPU splice trays with four or 12 HS or ANT and the 2TPU splitter tray for additional P2MP applications. When using the 12-fiber splice trays, up to a maximum of 288 pure splice connections can be terminated in the Polaris box 24 SCM, up to 432 with the P36. An adapter panel for 12 or 18 SC, LC-D adapters can be retrofitted. The Polaris box SCM 12 is a medium-sized housing, in which the new fiber divider and three carrier trays are available for up to 12 FMTS compact splice trays. They are suitable for 4 x HS or ANT splice protection holders per tray. This means that up to 12 participants can be separated or up to 48 splice connections can be realized. On demand, an adapter panel for up to 6 SC, LC-D connectors can be retrofitted. The small Polaris boxes SCM 4 and 6 even fit into tiny niches where space is tight. The fiber insert supports up to 12 crimp (ANT) or shrink (HS) splice connections. These boxes offer space for quick splitter integration as well as the first twelve splice connections without additional FMTS trays. In addition, up to four or six splice trays can be retrofitted. The adapter panel supplied supports up to four/ six SC, LC Duplex connectors. This means that up to twelve LC patch connections can be terminated. With the P6 SCM, the FMTS-30 splice tray can also be used for pure splicing applications. This increases the splice capacity to up to 84 splice connections. 021.6385 Polaris box 24 SCM The plus for overlengths For additional overlength storage, a modular set is available for the SCM P12, P24 and P36. The fiber trays can be retrofitted either to the left or right next to the splice trays, free of tools. These allow optimum storage of loose tubes (multifiber) during loop installations or additional fiber storage of drop cables. The cable entry concept enables simple installation of cables and microtubes with diameters from 2.0 to 16.0 mm. In addition to the standard box range, R&M offers custom-made boxes for individual customer projects that are pre-equipped with splitters, plug connectors, pigtails, splice trays and the right cable sealing elements. www.rdm.com/ polaris-box-family/ Polaris box 4 SCM 030.7959 Patrick Schilter | Product Manager patrick.schilter@rdm.com 050.6759 050.6970 10|2023–65 CONNECTIONS | 25
