Size matters

Size matters. SM@RTCORE® fibre cables make room for more.

SM@RTCORE® Application Prysmian’s SM@RTCORE® range of Fibre Optic Loose Tube Cables are a significant advancement in the technology  of Loose Tube Cable manufacture. Using state of the art manufacturing technology and control, we have engineered down the size of our cables to levels well below tradition cable design. This reduction in size offers many benefits  for both installers and network owners. Room for more Reduced diameter, smaller cable cross-section, high fibre density. Increased duct utilisation Enables increased duct utilisation compared with conventional loose tube cable. Longer lengths Longer lengths on any given drum, lowering installation costs by maximising run lengths, minimising jointing and reducing network power loss.  Composite outer sheath Manufactured with a composite outer sheath comprising of a polyethylene layer with a bonded outer Nylon jacket. Termite attack protection Outer Nylon jacket provides protection against termite attack and reduced friction between the cable and duct during haul-ing, allowing longer lengths to be installed at a given tension. Non-wrinkling nylon The bonded sheath technology enables a thinner Nylon jacket. This keeps the cable small, light-weight and flexible and prevents the Nylon wrinkling when the cable is bent thus preserving the termite protection.  Dry water blocking Internal dry water blocking technology to prevent water migration in the event of a breach in the sheath. Air-blown installation  Bonding the Nylon jacket also prevents water or air from passing between the two sheath materials. This avoids the need to remove the jacket before terminating and sealing the cable and means the cable can be installed using air blown technology. Fibre counts  Available in fibre counts from 2 to 624.  A trusted solution  The loose tube cable of choice for many Telco’s and contrac-tors in Australia. Duct fill comparison 50 mm conduit with 50 % occupancy. 7 by 144F SM@RTCORE  Loose Tube Cables  4 by 144F Conventional  Loose Tube Cables All sizes and values without tolerances are reference values.

Our small-sized, waterproof SM@RTCORE® range of fibre optic loose tube cables saves you space, time and money. It’s easier to install and you can increase the number of fibres in a duct, lower the number of ducts needed or extend the life of existing ducts. Plus, the strong, still smooth, polyethylene/nylon sheath protects against termites and reduces friction. Australian made? Yes, of course. © All r ig ht s r es er ve d by Pry sm ia n Gro up 20 14 Prysmian Cables & Systems Australia Pty Ltd 1 Heathcote Road, Liverpool 2170 NSW, Australia  Ph: 1300 300 304    Fx: 1300 300 307  E-mail: [email protected] www.prysmian.com.au
