AFL presents cable and connectivity solutions at Fiber Connect
AFL exhibited its optical connectivity, fiber optic cable and equipment portfolio at Fiber Connect 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee, in July.
The company showcased its Apex® fiber optic splice closure range, designed to decrease installation time, increase density of fiber splices and increase network reliability. Apex is most effective when coupled with AFL's high-density MicroCore® cable and wrapping tube cable with SpiderWeb Ribbon®.
AFL also featured its completely collapsible Switchblade® fiber containment vault. Its flared design provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, minimizing the effects of frost heave and increasing internal volume, making it suitable for higher density products.
Visitors to AFL's stand saw live demonstrations of the Fujikura 90R and 45S fusion splicers, with Active Fusion Control. This technology improves splice losses for fibers that have a poor cleave angle and prevents bad splices due to a poorly maintained cleaver.
