Fiber Optic Cable Types by Application - OFS Optics

Fiber optic cables are indispensable for modern communication networks, offering remarkable versatility and durability across various applications. These cables, primarily composed of glass fibers, transmit information through modulated light waves. Compared to traditional copper cables, fiber optic cables boast a greater bandwidth, solidifying their status as the preferred choice for communication, industrial networking, sensor systems, and avionics applications.

For a professional and honest service, KAIFLEX stands ready to assist.

Types of Fiber Optic Cables

Communications Fiber Optic Cables

OFS offers robust fiber optic cables tailored for various industrial, indoor, and outdoor applications. Our communications fiber optic systems are designed to fulfill complex demands and specifications with ease.

Our DryBlock® cables exemplify this durability and adaptability, making them suitable for outside plant (OSP) applications, including installations that are direct-buried or lashed aerial. Its construction features a polyethylene jacket and corrugated steel armor for enhanced durability and rodent resistance while remaining lightweight to facilitate quick installation.

Additionally, our offerings like ribbon cables and dry gel-free cables see widespread use in FTTx applications. For example, the EZ-Bend® cables ensure reliable connections with negligible loss. Be it fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), fiber-to-the-node (FTTN), or fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC), OFS fiber solutions enable better data transmission over longer distances compared to copper options. Our designs cater to the ongoing requirements for high-speed broadband and ensure optimal quality for video, voice, and data transmissions—maximizing your return on investment.

Totally Gel-Free Cables

Eliminating the use of messy gels and filling compounds improves the handling and installation processes for outside plant cables, facilitating enhanced operational efficiency. Our totally gel-free cables are available in multiple configurations, including loose tube or ribbon constructions.

Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cables

Our innovative loose tube fiber optic cables provide increased fiber density and simplify deployments for duct, aerial, direct buried, and indoor/outdoor settings.

Ribbon Cables

OFS pioneered optical fiber ribbon technology, introducing the first fiber optic ribbon cables. Our AccuRibbon® Optical Ribbons hold up to 24 fibers in a planar array, maximizing fiber density while streamlining fiber termination processes, reducing installation time and costs.

Rollable Ribbon Cables

The rollable ribbon technology approximately doubles the fiber density compared to conventional cables, making it a significant asset for network designers. Thanks to their intermittent attachment, these ribbons offer enhanced flexibility and can be used with existing splicing techniques.

Fiber Optic Drop Cables

Designed to be compact and robust, our fiber drop cables are ideal for last-mile connections and can be used for aerial, direct buried, and duct installations.

Central Core Cables

OFS pioneered the central core design, allowing for easy fiber access and enhanced density, ideal for various deployment scenarios including direct burial and underground conduits.

Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Optic Cables

Our unique indoor/outdoor cables offer both flame resistance and durability, streamlining application transitions without the need for splices.
