Optical Fiber Installation - The Achilles Heel
Optical fiber is the future for communications into the 21st century. However, optical fibers are vulnerable, particularly within the critical areas of fiber breakout and management. It is here that transient losses in signal strength can occur which may trigger alarms or cause data errors. Total signal failure, or permanent reduction, will mean costly rework of joints and terminations.

The problems include:

  • Kinking of fiber element tubes at cable breakout and routing areas.
  • Micro-bending of fibers from crushing and pulling.
  • Macro-bending of fibers from poor management and congestion.
Any or all of these problems can occur during routing work on the fiber infrastructure and some problems will not become evident until the system is in use and complaints are received!
The Solution
Miniflex technology manufactured by Richco and Richco standard products provide the complete solution to the above problems.

The range of unique fiber optic products created by Miniflex and Richco give the installers and users total peace of mind by ensuring that the fiber is protected in all circumstances.
