This industry, and humanity as a whole, has faced a year unlike any other in the modern era of communications and the internet. The world has remained active thanks to technology and, of course, to the fiber optic cables that crisscross the planet both on land and underwater. 

OMC has launched new "Handy Packs" of its most popular sizes of high-quality polymer optical fiber for industrial and other fiber optic systems. The "Handy Packs" are 100-meter spools of optical fiber, ideal for projects requiring shorter data links.

Corning Incorporated has introduced the Corning SMF-28® Contour optical fiber to help telecom operators address the growing number of connected devices, the construction of 5G networks, and advances in cloud computing.

Given that data transfer security remains paramount, global operators must strive to deploy secure optical links to deter potential cyber threats. According to Prysmian's latest Industry Insight, operators should seek to implement a solution that can securely transmit optical signals and handle the higher bit rates and wavelength operations that next-generation fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) systems will bring.

Rosenberger Optical Solutions & Infrastructure (Rosenberger OSI) announces that all its OM5 products are available upon request. OM5 optical fibers can support 100 Gbps Ethernet over two fibers by simultaneously transmitting four different wavelengths in each direction. OM5 was established in October 2017 as the standard classification for broadband multimode optical fibers. This designation is also intended for inclusion in the publications of the standards organizations ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173-1, and ANSI/TIA-568.3-D.

The COFITEL Group presents the new Central Dry Tube (CDT) fiber optic cables with a Euroclass B2ca (according to EN 13501-6) from Leviton that meet the requirements of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR).

The COFITEL Group presents Leviton's new Multi Dry Tube (MDT) fiber optic cables, which, with a Euroclass B2ca rating according to EN 13501-6, exceed the requirements of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR).
With a compact, gel-free design, these MDT B2ca multi-tube cables are ideal for backbone network installations in buildings and campuses where fire safety is a priority. They can be deployed in internal and external conduits and internal cable trays.

Keyfibre introduces the new KeyFlex® cables, manufactured with micro optical modules—super-small, compact tubes that replace conventional loose-tube cables. KeyFlex® consists of several optical fiber modules coated with an ultra-thin, flexible, and easy-to-strip material, offering advantages and installation possibilities not found in conventional loose-tube cables.

The XtremeFire+ family of models, which comply with the CPR regulation and bear the CE marking, guarantee maximum safety performance. All cables intended for permanent installation in construction projects within the European Union (EU) must comply with the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and bear the corresponding CE marking.

Excel introduces its Enbeam blown fiber solution. The system includes a range of single- to multi-tube microducts in designs suitable for indoor or outdoor applications, complemented by 4- to 12-fiber enhanced performance units (EPFUs) in single-mode and multimode configurations. Systems installed by Excel-certified installers will be eligible for inclusion in the standard Excel 25-year warranty program.

The new duplex patch cables for connecting active and passive components expand Phoenix Contact's fiber optic patch cable program.

The COFITEL Group presents a range of SMPTE-type hybrid cables for broadcast and high-definition television (HDTV) applications. Manufactured by OPTRAL at its facilities in Barcelona and Fraga (Huesca),
these indoor/outdoor hybrid cables are compatible with the SMPTE 311-2009 standard and SMPTE 304M connectors. They are available in various versions for HD cameras in fixed installations and mobile applications.

The COFITEL Group presents new fire-resistant fiber optic cables manufactured by OPTRAL at its facilities in Barcelona and Fraga, many of which comply with the European CPR standard. These are QFCI and SWA loose-structure models, also designed to meet rodent protection requirements in harsh environments.

Corning Incorporated has introduced a number of smaller, denser additions to its portfolio of long-haul fiber optic and cable innovations, including the first long-haul submarine and terrestrial fibers in a 200-micron diameter.

Corning Incorporated has launched a new family of cable products that improves fire safety and meets revised and stricter EU guidelines.

The AccuCore HCF fiber optic cable solution is based on proven hollow core fiber technology and includes indoor/outdoor cable and termination with standard connectors, which are fused to the patented photonic band hollow core fiber.

The COFITEL Group presents FLEXIBLETUBE (FT) cables for indoor and outdoor use, manufactured by OPTRAL. With a reduced diameter, they are designed for installation in ducts using direct pull or in-ground techniques. They are also suitable for tapping and vertical installations (building facades).

The COFITEL Group presents the CINFLEX flexible industrial breakout cable, manufactured by OPTRAL. This model, with its braided dielectric armor and black polyurethane (TPU) jacket, guarantees resistance to oils and greases. It can be installed indoors and outdoors and is ideal for direct connection to mobile equipment.

OptoTest introduces a 24-fiber variant of its MTP®/MPO High Performance Reference (HPR) cables. Like its 12-fiber counterpart and the single-fiber version, the 24-fiber HPR cable is designed to maximize the accuracy and repeatability of insertion loss and return loss measurements.
