New, Totally Dry Design; Cost-effective, Efficient Solution for Smaller Fiber Counts
Norcross, GA, August 31, 2009 - OFS, designer, manufacturer and supplier of leading edge fiber optic network products today announced the offering of the All-Dry Mini C2™ DT cable. The small size and light weight of the Mini C2 DT cable offers a cost-effective, efficient solution for the smaller fiber counts needed in today’s networks’ last optical link.
“The OFS Mini C2 DT cable’s innovative design offers a compact, yet durable fiber cable solution, with two steel strength rods in a completely dry design that is easy to handle and install,” said William Kloss, Executive VP of Marketing & Sales, North America & CALA. “The core of this cable contains no messy filling compounds, virtually eliminating the need for cleaning chemicals and wipes, enabling faster and cleaner Outside Plant Service (OSP) installation with nearly effortless splice preparation.”
The Mini C2 DT cable’s totally dry construction also creates a more compact, lighter weight cable that is easier to handle and install, thereby offering savings opportunities in transportation and shipping costs. By helping to reduce chemical cleaning supplies and shipping costs, this cable offers a more cost-effective, eco-friendly solution.
The Mini C2 DT cable is suitable for underground conduit, direct burial and aerial/lashed applications.
