Featuring a ruggedized simplex cordage, the EZ-Bend 3.0 Cable can offer less than 0.1 dB macrobending attenuation at 1550 nm for 1 turn at 5 mm fiber bend radius. Its solid fiber construction can provide a macrobending performance far better than ITU G.657B requirements, and it is backward compatible with installed G.652D fibers.

Benefits:

• “Copper-like” installation process: Can be routed using familiar copper wire practices
• Faster, easier installation: no extra steps to install bend limiters, conduits, or raceways
• Compact installation and storage: Conforms to building; slack fits in small storage spaces
• Fast, easy, low loss splicing to G.652D fiber with existing core and clad aligned splice equipment
• Familiar, standard connector termination: Solid fiber construction can be terminated using standard optical connectors and polishing techniques
• Familiar connector endface cleaning using same process as with existing G.652 solid construction fiber
• MDU and in-home optimized: Ideal for in-residence wiring and difficult installation routes in MDU overbuilds
• Greener Solution: Free of heavy metals and RoHS-compliant; solution uses less total materials and energy than copper solutions

Featuring a ruggedized simplex cordage, the EZ-Bend 4.8 Cable can offer less than 0.1 dB macrobending attenuation at 1550 nm for 1 turn at 5 mm fiber bend radius, and less than 0.3 dB macrobending attenuation at 1550 nm when subjected to MDU Simulation Test called out by Verizon TPR.9424 FOC Document. Its solid fiber construction helps enable a macrobending performance far better than ITU G.657B requirements, and it is backward compatible with installed G.652D fibers.

Benefits:

• “Copper-like” installation process: Can be routed around corners using familiar copper wire practices, and stapled
• Faster, easier installation: no extra steps to install bend limiters, conduits, or raceways
• Compact installation and storage: Conforms to building; slack fits in small storage spaces
• Fast, easy, low loss splicing to G.652D fiber with existing core and clad aligned splice equipment
• Familiar, standard connector termination: Solid fiber construction can be terminated using standard optical connectors and polishing techniques
• Familiar connector endface cleaning using same process as with existing G.652 solid construction fiber
• MDU and in-home optimized: Ideal for in-residence wiring and difficult installation routes in MDU overbuilds
• Greener Solution: Free of heavy metals and RoHS-compliant; solution uses less total materials and energy than copper solutions

Available in 4.8 and 3.0 diameter cordages, as indoor/outdoor, riser, plenum, or low-smoke, zero-halogen constructions, the EZ-Bend Assemblies can offer less than 0.1 dB macrobending attenuation at 1550 nm for 1 turn at 5 mm fiber bend radius, and are a solid fiber construction with macrobending performance far better than ITU G.657B requirements. They are backward compatible with installed G.652D fiber.

Benefits:

• “Copper-like” installation process: Can be routed around corners using familiar copper service wire practices
• Faster, easier installation: no extra steps to install bend limiters, conduits, or raceways
• Compact installation and storage: Conforms to building, slack fits in small storage spaces
• Fast, easy, low loss splicing to G.652D fiber with existing core and clad aligned splice equipment
• MDU and in-home optimized: Ideal for in-residence wiring and difficult installation routes in MDU overbuilds

The EZ-Bend® Multifiber Drop Bundle provides the same high performance that the single fiber EZ-Bend Assemblies provide but has the added benefit of saving time in installation by pulling 5, 6 or 12 assemblies at one time. The OFS Outside Plant EZ-Bend Multifiber Drop Bundles featuring the ruggedized 4.8 mm Indoor/Outdoor cable with EZ-Bend Ultra-Bend Insensitive Fiber.

Drop cables are placed on the outside of the building so that the coils are located at each of the windows of the living unit where the individual end will enter the living unit. The un-connectorized end of the bundle is spliced at the Fiber Distribution Terminal (FDT) which is located at either ground level or on top of the building. The connectorized end is later placed through the window seal to connect with the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) inside the living unit..
