Fiber Optic Cables

OFO engineers cables to customer specifications and also customizes cable designs to suit individual project needs. The primary business focus at OFO is long haul communication cable requirements. The cabling operation is done on state-of-the ­art machinery of Nextrom , Finland . Fiber cable manufacture is under controlled atmospheric conditions, a key factor in ensuring high quality.

The machinery line up includes fiber coloring equipment, high speed secondary coating line, a S-Z stranding machine, torque balanced armed yarn server and cable sheath extruder lines. OFO primarily manufactures loose tube cables and offers Dry core & jelly filled water blocking options. OFO can cable up to 144 fibers, and offers a wide range of cable constructions.

OFO cables are manufactured to stringent quality standards and OFO has in-house entire range of Optical and Mechanical test equipment. General Cable manufacture is to IEC 794, EN 118000, Bellcore GR-20 / Tellcordia & RUS-PE-90 standards.

SLEEK

The Compaq cable series from OFO is a selection of Unitube cables in dielectric and armored constructions. The cables are of low diameter and light weight and typically suited for shot haul LAN applications. Considering the low diameter the cables are well suited for blowing applications and in areas with constricted ducts.

EASY LAUNCH

The Easy Launch cable series is a multi tube dielectric cable design suited for short and long haul. The cable is suited for deployment in ducts and can be installed by blowing / pulling in to the ducts. A variation of this cable is thing outer sheath of nylon-12 to provide termite resistant properties.

In typical applications requiring a rodent resistant non-metallic cable, OFO can provide the Easy launch cable with rodent tape along the cable periphery. Such cables are useful lightening prone areas and for applications where cable traceablility is not desirable.

LITE SHIELD

The Light Shield cable series combines the need for a rigid steel armoring and light weight. A single sheathing is provided to keep the cable weight and diameter low. Typical applications are deployment in ducts with added safety of rodent protection, and for direct burial in soft soil areas.

SUPER SHIELD

The Super Shield cable series is a rugged cable suited for direct burial applications in harsh terrain. The double sheathing and a corrugated steel tape armoring provides high compressive strength and enhanced impact resistance. Typically such cables are for a one time installation along the route, and the rigid cable construction ensures total protection of the cable. A variation to the Super Shield cable is a triple sheath double armored cable for enhanced compressive strength

FLAME SHIELD

The Flame Shield cable series is a range of flame retardant sheathed cables useful in cables that approach buildings, institutations and premises susceptible to fire break outs. The sheathing compound used in the Flame shield cable is chosen based on the application and variations include Low Smoke Zero Halogen sheathing and Flame Retardant sheathing. Typical campus networks require cables that have the ruggedness to withstand the rigors of outdoor installation and at the same time are flame retardant as well. OFO provides indoor outdoor cables in dielectric and armored options.

SKY LINE

The Sky Line cable series represents Aerial Cale options. Primarily two options are provided:

- All Dielectric Self Supporting (ADSS) cables for short, medium and long span stringing along power lines

- Figure-8 cables with steel messenger wire for support to string along dedicated poles.

OFO has a high tensile aramid yarn server to provide roque balanced aramid yarn serving along cable periphery suited for long span High Tensile ADSS cables. OFO can also assist in selection of the right fittings to suit different pole geometry, a vital factor in successful ADSS stringing.

In the section that follows some of the construction and properties for some of the major cable types produced at OFO is highlighted. Please consult the OFO engineering team for the right cable and fiber solution to suit your network
