In an unpredictable, fast-moving world, increased volumes of data from 5G, video streaming, remote working, the Internet of Things, machine-to-machine learning, and gaming have meant that bandwidth and fiber densities have had to scale to meet demand requiring faster installation than ever before.

AFL Hyperscale provides mass-fusion splicing solutions that are designed for fast and easy installation, efficient fiber management, and reliability to support and scale your data center network, future-proofing it for years to come.

40% faster installation

Splice 12 fibers at once, achieving a 90% time saving compared to single fiber splicing

Get the fiber counts you need inside and outside the data center hall

Outside and inside plant cables (with CPR rating) from 12 all the way to 10,368 fibers

Mass-splice solutions across every part of the physical layer

From the outside fiber network to the heart of your data center

Cost-effective, high-density connectivity

Scale your network, not your budget

About SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®)

SpiderWeb Ribbon® is made up of 12 single fibers, intermittently bonded to create a collapsible ribbon construction that can move flexibly in any direction.

SWR allows for highly efficient ribbon termination for mass-fusion splicing with the ability to be broken out into single fibers for individual splicing and connectorization.

SWR technology significantly reduces cable diameter and weight and is used in ultra-high fiber count indoor and outdoor cable types, resulting in lower installation costs and major improvements in utilization of cable pathways and duct space.

SWR Features and Benefits

High fiber packing density

Collapsible ribbon allows for up to 10,368 fibers

Single-fiber splicing still an option

Easily split into individual fibers for single-fiber splicing or connectorizing

Website icons outlines

Faster, easier installation

Easily identified individual bundles and optical fibers optimized for easy mass-fusion splicing, including Dry Core Technology with a longitudinally-applied water blocking tape that eliminates the need for messy hand tools

Improved storage and easier installation

Small-diameter and lighter-weight cable compared to conventional ribbon or single-fiber cables

Low-risk solution

Easy mid-span access functionality should the cable be damaged

Cost-effective cable solution

Smaller and lighter-weight cables mean easier installation practices and lower transportation costs

Website icons outlines

Fewer connection points

Up to twice the amount of cable can be wound on a drum, longer cable reduces the number of connection points, improving network latency

AFL Hyperscale’s mass-fusion splice solutions show how single-mode SWR cable can be deployed across different areas of a data center network, from inter-building and metro links to the entrance facility, main distribution area, and all the way to the customer area or server rack.

In the data center entrance or ENI (External Network Interface), SWR Outside Plant (OSP) Cable can transition to SWR Inside Plant (ISP) Cable, to then be distributed across the data hall.

For high fiber counts coming into the data center, AFL Hyperscale offers a wide range of connectivity solutions for a fast and efficient installation that comprises mass-splice frames, wall-mountable cabinets, and rack-mountable panels.

Wall-Mountable Solutions

AFL Hyperscale’s mass-fusion splice cabinets are designed to save space in the data center entrance facility. Rather than splicing on a fiber frame, the cabinets can be wall-mounted to transition OSP cables to ISP cables up to 6,912 fibers. The cabinets are lightweight and designed for easy installation by one person.

The splice cabinets feature leaf-style trays which allow 144 fiber mass-fusion splices per tray, as well as a raceway and manifold system that ensures fiber protection and network reliability.

Mass-Splice Frames

AFL Hyperscale’s selection of mass-splice frames provides scalable and high-density splicing capability. Our cabinets are ideal for splicing OSP cables carrying up to 13,824f into indoor backbone 288f segments.

Designed for ease of installation and maintenance, there is plenty of room for slack storage both at incoming and outgoing cable ends. Integrated mounting points for cable transitions ensure appropriate management of breakout from cable to splicing area.
