RealFlex ™ 5
ADC’s new RealFlex ™ Drop Cables are an ideal solution for the unique challenges encountered
in the diversity of multi-tenant unit (MTU) and multi-dwelling unit (MDU) FTTX deployments.
RealFlex Drop Cables allow for a bend radius as small as 7.5 mm without changing attenuation
characteristics of the cable and improve insertion loss (IL) performance for 90 degree bend
locations. With the average MTU or MDU installation including as many as seven 90 degree turns,
this new cable greatly reduces the risk to bend induced IL during installation. In addition to the
improved bend radius performance, the rugged cable construction provides the flexibility and
durability to withstand the most demanding applications. The rugged indoor/outdoor cables can
also be stapled
* , allowing for fast and easy securing of cables to most surfaces. The reduced bend
radius glass allows the technician to staple around tight corners without compromising insertion
loss performance.
* ADC approved staplers and staples.
ADC’s RealFlex ™ 5 uses 5.0 mm cable with Reduced Bend Radius fiber for optimal performance
in the most constraining installation environments and hardened OptiTap connectors for fast
service turn-up. The hardened connectors are environmentally sealed and terminated in the
factory to produce the highest reliability standards. Multiple dwelling units and commercial
business applications are ideal environments for this indoor/outdoor reduced bend radius
hardened drop cable.
