New EZ-Bend™ Optical Cable Video - Bending the Rules™ of Optical Fiber

Some tests performed on an OFS' new bend-insensitive EZ-Bend 4.8 mm Cable, subjected to a more stringent configuration than specified by the rigorous Verizon MDU Simulation Test (TPR 9424), showed over 65% better loss performance than the 0.4 dB maximum specified for TPR 9424. In one of the tests, shown here, the EZ-Bend Cable was enduring the sum of multiple bends and 90 degree corners, tension, with a very low loss, compared to conventional single-mode fibers.

The EZ-Bend Cables are the ideal solution for multiple dwelling unit (MDU) and in-home wiring applications, conquring sharp corners, bends, and molding. They can be deployed using "copper-like" installation techniques. More information at www.ofsoptics.com.
