Reliable long-haul OFC networks

With more and more data being transmitted over longer The capability of UP is further enhanced by the high distances and at ever-greater transmission speeds, tenacity of the product. As a result, your cables will be lighter reliable high-speed connectivity is essential. For long- at the same span. If circumstances require, you can also span haul OFC networks, ADSS cable manufacturers therefore longer distances than before. focus on maximum span length, minimum sag, and maximum wind and ice load resistance. In addition, their optical cables need to be able to deal with variable Key benefits of usingTwaron UP environmental conditions and should be easy to install, even when live-line installations are required. • Significant reduction of total cable costs

At , we have more than two decades of • Lower cable weight at the same span experience in developing innovative aramid fiber products that strengthen and protect cables. Our latest • Longer spans possible high- lightweight aramid fiber Twaron Ultimate Performance (Twaron UP) offers the highest modulus in • Sustainable solution the para-aramid industry, some 20% higher than what is currently offered by our competitors. This means less aramid fiber material is needed to achieve the same performance. Exceptional dimensional stability Twaron UP’s extra-high modulus means that the dimensional stability of the yarn is some 20% better than that of yarns offered by the competition. The higher the modulus of the aramid fiber, the lower the in the course of time. This means you can count on the material being highly durable.

Cost-efficient choice Twaron UP’s extra-high modulus also means that less yarn is needed to achieve the same reliable performance in terms of OFC reinforcement, making it the most cost-efficient choice on the market today. It is not only cost-efficient in terms of the amount of aramid fiber material you need, it also lowers the total cable weight at the same span, reducing the required amount of aramid fiber even further. What is more, in new-build projects, you can work with longer spans without increased sagging. To cover the same distance, you will need fewer pylons, which will significantly reduce costs. Longer spans may also be ideal when you need to span a river or canyon, while uphill installations will also benefit from the lower weight of the cable, since a Leading global supplier greater height difference between pylons can be bridged. Over the years, our engineers have built up in-depth knowledge of the use of aramid in cable applications. Drop-in replacement As a leading global supplier to the OFC market, we work Twaron UP provides equal Force at Specified Elongation closely with our partners in the industry to arrive at the (FASE) at reduced linear density. This means you can switch most cost-effective and reliable solutions. to Twaron UP using the same number of yarn ends in the cable design. Simply replace the bobbins, and you will Twaron UP products currently available: need less yarn to achieve the same modulus (for instance, • Twaron D3200: Yarn count 2640 dtex; 17,000m on 2640 dtex can replace 3220 dtex). 216x94mm tube (see Datasheet) • Can be assembled into multiples of 2640 dtex Eco-efficient solution (e.g., 5280 dtex, 7920 dtex, 13200 dtex) Twaron UP is sustainable in more ways than one. Thanks • Samples available on request to its extra-high modulus, less material is needed for each cable length, without the need to change the design of For more information, please email us at optical-fiber- the cable or other components. This significantly increases [email protected] or visit www.teijinaramid.com efficiency and reduces energy use. And because you can work with longer cable spans, substantial energy savings Acronyms: can also be achieved on the installation of the entire OFC: optical fiber cable system. Finally, lighter cables are obviously more energy- ADSS cable: all dielectric self supporting cable Twaron UP: Twaron Ultimate Performance efficient to transport, which will lead to reduced CO 2 FASE: force at specified elongation emissions, particularly when transported by air.
