AFL Ruggedized MicroCore with SWR is the next generation of maximizing fiber density in AFL’s line of high-density data center cables. Ruggedized MicroCore is an industry-leading alternative to a traditional inside plant central loose tube ribbon cable with both standard 250μm based fiber and AFL revolutionary SpiderWeb Ribbon Technology designs available.
Ruggedized MicroCore with bare fiber eliminates concerns associated with edge fiber stresses due to the preferential bend of encapsulated ribbons. These cables consist of an LSZH (including ONFR-LS/FT4) flame-rated outer jacket with an installation tension rating of 150 lbs. qualified to meet and exceed the requirements of the latest Telcordia GR-409-CORE inside plant cabling requirements.
SWR technology eliminates many of the challenges that data center networks face today and will face in the future, and works to maximize fiber counts, minimize space utilized in ducts and raceways, and simplify high-fiber count installations.
