Jonard Tools had just released the latest tool in the company’s popular MS product line (mid span slit and ring tools), the MS-446, mid span slit and ring tool.
AFL has expanded its Premise MicroCore cable family.
New from AFL is the FlowScout PON optical power meter for network activation, testing and troubleshooting of passive optical networks.
The Focis Lightning connector microscope from AFL provides a complete pass/fail analysis for a 12 or 24-fibre MPO connector and each individual fibre in 15 seconds.
The Apex closure line from AFL is designed to improve usability, decrease installation time, increase network reliability, and increase density of fibre splices.
AFL’s latest ribbonizing tool, the RT-02, features a glue-less process for ribbonising and splicing 12-fibre ribbons.
AFL has expanded its furcation tubing portfolio to include multiple options of industry-standard tube.
AFL has introduced a new range of high-fibre-count indoor/outdoor plenum tight buffered cables. Designed to be ideal for campus environments, the helically-stranded design is available from 36 to 72 fibres. The sub-units and outer sheath contain a UV stabiliser and anti-fungus protection for use in outdoor applications.
AFL has introduced the FleXpress fast optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) test for its FlexScan family of pocket-sized OTDRs.
AFL has expanded its range of ground tactical fibre optics products for fast deployment with the Sidewinder Rapid Cable Deployment System.
The Sidewinder reel system is made from a high impact grade polymer that is also lightweight and easy to handle. The removable handle enables fast sidewinding action so that cable rigging can be accomplished rapidly, helping to ease the deployment of tactical fibre optic cables by reducing handling and set up time for portable deployment and retrieval in field conditions.
