Fiber Optic Cable
CentraCore OPGW
CentraCore Optical Ground Wire is available in fiber counts up to 96, and due to its
small size, offers a unique solution to the diameter and weight concerns on many of
today’s overloaded towers. A central stainless steel tube houses the optical fibers. The
stainless steel tube is then inserted into an aluminum pipe which provides added crush
protection while increasing the conductivity. The fibers are protected from environmental
conditions (lightning, short circuit, loading) to ensure reliability and longevity.

Fiber Optic Cable
Metallic Aerial Self-Supporting Cable (MASS)
Metallic Aerial Self-Supporting (MASS) Cable is an alternative solution used for installing
optical cable on medium and high voltage power lines. It is typically used when
existing phase or ground wire replacement is not possible or economical. MASS cable
is a compact, light-weight solution with no electrical function, designed to provide
a telecommunications path without interfering with the existing power lines or
infrastructure. Its small size helps minimize loading on towers and poles, yet it is
completely self-supporting to meet sag and tension requirements. It is typically
installed in “under build” applications beneath the live phases.
Features:
central stainless
steel loose tube

steel wire
• Central Stainless Steel loose tube design
• Typical diameter between 9 – 12 mm (0.35" – 0.47")
• Fiber counts up to 72
• No voltage limit – suitable for medium & high voltage lines
• Suitable for use on lines without a ground wire
• Convenient means to add fiber where OPGW is already installed
• Deployed in regions with high lightning activity
• Can be installed without an outage
• Small cable size limits additional structural loading
• Wind loading properties similar to standard conductors
• Suitable for wooden poles with universal attachment
• Aluminum Clad, Aluminum Alloy or Galvanized Steel wire options available
depending on mechanical properties required

Fiber Optic Cable
Optical Phase Conductor
Optical Phase Conductor (OPPC) is used as an alternative telecommunications solution
when there is no existing ground wire, meaning Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) is not a
viable option. The basic construction is similar to conventional OPGW, only it is designed
to simulate the mechanical and electrical characteristics of the phase wire it replaces.
Unlike OPGW, where the cable is not carrying continuous current, OPPC is energized along
high voltage power lines. Therefore it requires specially adapted splice boxes and insulators
to accommodate the live line conditions.
AFL can design a cable to accommodate your precise application. To do so, we need the
properties of the phase conductor you are seeking to replace. With that, we can do the rest.
Features:
• Engineered to match existing conductors
• Available in fiber counts up to 144
• Distribution or Transmission – from 36 to 245 kV
• Suitable for any type of optical fiber, single-mode or multimode
• Designed to match electrical properties of conductor it replaces
• Uses standard fiber optic deadends and suspension grips
• Full range of hardware options available

Renewables Optimized OPGW
Renewable energy initiatives such as wind and solar farms
have become a routine part of the new global energy business.
Like most traditional transmission line projects, Optical Ground
Wire is a key component in the planned power grid. Typical
renewable applications require smaller, lighter-weight cables
that can be delivered with minimal delay. In response to the
needs of this market, AFL has optimized a select group of its
Optical Ground Wire family specifically for these renewable
applications. These designs take advantage of CentraCore’s
compact and robust design features—48 single-mode fibers
are protected by a gel-filled, laser-welded stainless steel tube,
central Aluminum pipe and stranded outer wires. Refer to all of
the features of CentraCore OPGW cable.

Fiber Optic Cable
Flex-Span™ ADSS Fiber Optic Cable
Flex-Span ADSS expands on AFL's single jacket ADSS portfolio. Flex-Span designs are
optimized for a broader combination of fiber counts and span lengths, providing ADSS
system designers more flexibility in their product selection. As its name indicates, there is
no support or messenger wire required, so installation is achieved in a single pass.
Flex-Span ADSS includes fiber counts up to 144 optical fibers and any type or
combination of single-mode or multimode fibers within the cable. Pole-to-pole span
lengths range from 50 ft. to over 1,000 ft.
Temperature Range
Features
Operating: -40ºC to +70ºC
•• Suitable for use on distribution lines
•• Gel-filled buffer tubes are S-Z stranded
for easy mid-span access
•• Cable is water-blocked using
dry core technology, therefore
no messy flooding compounds
•• Design details listed below for span
lengths up to 1100 ft (457 m) and
fiber counts up to 144
•• Requires the use of formed wire
dead ends
Storage: -50ºC to +70ºC

Fiber Optic Cable
All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (AFL-ADSS®)
Fiber Optic Cable
AFL-ADSS® (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cable is ideal for installation in distribution
as well as transmission environments, even when live-line installations are required.
As its name indicates, there is no support or messenger wire required, so installation is
achieved in a single pass, making ADSS an economical and simple means of achieving
a fiber optic network. AFL manufactures its own line of attachment hardware as well as
supplies formed wire fittings when preferred.

Fiber Optic Cable
Non-Armored Single Jacket
Dry Loose Tube Cable
Acting as the backbone for most of today’s fiber based systems, stranded fiber
optic cables play a critical role in the high speed network. AFL’s Non-Armored
Dry Loose Tube fiber optic cables are designed to provide high fiber counts with
the flexibility and versatility required for today’s most demanding installations.
Our dry buffer tube cables feature fiber counts up to 288, compliance with EIA/TIA
and REA/RUS PE-90, and are S-Z stranded for easy mid-span access. The dry buffer
tube and core permit rapid cable preparation and termination. Water blocking
materials are easily removed. Industry standard designs combined with innovative
technologies, such as a dry core and dry tube product, yield a world class cable
that will support today’s and tomorrow’s technological needs.

Fiber Optic Cable
Riser Single-Jacket I/O Loose Tube
(LV Series SJ)
Indoor/outdoor stranded loose tube combines the robust mechanical and
environmental characteristics of an outside plant cable with the flexibility
of an inside plant riser cable. By installing indoor/outdoor stranded loose tube,
costly splice locations entering into a building are avoided, being routed directly
from the outside plant to telecommunications closets, or main distribution
frames (MDF) through the riser of a building and eliminating the "50-foot rule."
Indoor/Outdoor Stranded Design loose tube cable is moisture and U.V. resistant,
S-Z stranded for easy mid-span access, listed for OFNR use per UL standards,
and can be used in both duct and lashed applications.

Fiber Optic Cable
Specialized Loose Tube Cables
Low Smoke Zero Halogen
Loose Tube Cable with Thermoset Jacket
Consisting of thermoset (XLPO) jacket, AFL’s LX-series of low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH)
loose tube cables are specifically designed for harsh environments. Ideal for indoor and
outdoor industrial applications, the cable design includes dry-core water blocking
system, SZ-stranded core for easy mid-span access to fibers, and a highly chemical
resistant, cross-linked UV-resistant outer jacket. For even greater mechanical robustness,
a corrugated steel armor version is available. Applications include mining, industrial,
railways, subways, and much more.
Low Smoke Zero Halogen OFN-LS Listed Loose Tube Cable
AFL’s Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Loose Tube cable is designed for use in outdoor
aerial and indoor duct appplications including subways and tunnels with requirements
for limited smoke and zero halogen. Optical fibers are located within S-Z strandard buffer tubes, providing stable and reliable long-term performance. The cable is dry-blocked
(no messy gel flooding the core) to prevent axial flow of moisture and utilizes a flameretardant, non-halogenated UV-resistant outer jacket.
AFL’s Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) loose tube cable group includes OFN-LS Listed
as well as non-listed designs. The OFN-LS listed loose tube cable line (LL-Series) is
specially engineered for applications that require UL/NEC compliant cables intended
for inside-building applications and must meet minimum flame and smoke generation guideline.The Non-Listed cables are also constructed with LSZH materials and are
intended for OSP installations where NFPA/NEC listing is not required.
LA-Series Low Temp Harsh Environment
LSZH Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable
The LA-Series is specially designed for applications that demand reliable performance in
harsh environment installations. The cable construction incorporates a variety of packaging technologies that allow the product to operate in extremely low temperatures,
mechanically abusive installations and highly caustic and acidic environments. The key
to the reliable, ultra-high performance is the specially designed cable core and the dual
layer jacketing system.
The cable core is constructed using materials and engineered geometry that optimizes
the isolation of the optical fibers from the stresses and strains imparted on the cable
and commonly realized in extreme environments. The outer jacketing is designed to
further protect the ruggedized core assembly with a myltiplying system made up of a
double-ply, low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) flame resistant jacketing system that integrates a strong layer of aramid yarn between the inner and outer sheaths.

Fiber Optic Cable
Specialized Loose Tube Cables (cont.)
Uniflex® Non-Armored Loose Tube Cable
AFL’s non-armored Uniflex® is a central loose tube cable used for duct and low
fiber drop applications.
Uniflex® Armored Loose Tube Cable
AFL’s Armored Uniflex cable is a central loose tube product used in various outside
plant applications. Its compact design holds up to 12 fibers. The corrugated steel
armor provides additional mechanical protection and also serves as toneable
element within the cable.
Outside Plant (OSP) MicroCore® Blown Fiber Optic Cable
AFL OSP MicroCore cable series is designed for outside plant installation in microduct
conduit systems. The unique, high-fiber density geometry yields a cable construction that
can safely accommodate up to 144-fiber within cable package that can be air-blown
into a microduct with an inside diameter as small as 10 mm or (0.394"). This cable
solution offers the system designer the flexibility to install from 12- to 144-fibers within
each 10 mm ID microduct within the multi-duct system.
For example, with a 7-way 12.7 mm x 10 mm (conduit with seven microducts) in place,
the system designer has the flexibility to install from 12 to 144 fibers per microduct.
With this approach, only the number of fibers required for initial networking
requirements need to be installed. Then as future network upgrades and expansions
are required, the spare microducts can be jetted with addition OSP MicroCore cables
without having to add additional pathway space.

Fiber Optic Cable
SkyWrap®
Successfully installed worldwide since 1982, SkyWrap is a fiber optic cable helically
applied on ground wires or phase conductors. A specially designed spinning machine
is used to wrap the cable under controlled conditions. This system offers a complete
communication link designed and engineered for high-voltage environments at low cost.
SkyWrap is the ideal solution when access to the overhead line is problematic due to
environment or terrain. The installation equipment is lightweight, easy to handle and quick
to install. When power outages are hard to coordinate SkyWrap can be installed on ground
wire while the phase conductors remain live, or on phase conductors with single circuit
outage.
