Nashville conference The cleaning tape advances each time the Slide-Guide is activated, further simplifying the field operation. A small window on the side of the tool indicates when the tape is finished – at around 500 or more applications. Another innovative feature: The body of the HandiMate is made of an anti-static material, allowing the tool to be used in bench-top applications where ESD compliance is required. Sumitomo Electric Lightwave Unveils New FTTx Bend-Insensitive Ribbon Drop Cable for MDU and Versatile FTTx Sumitomo Electric Lightwave (www. sumitomoelectric.com) is announcing its ITU-657A compliant, fire-retardant Pure- Fit Ribbon Drop Cable for the last drop to the premises or home at the upcoming Nashville FTTH Conference, Booth 721. Prompted by the growing preference for ribbon products in FTTx network and MDU applications, Sumitomo designed the cable to allow for mass fusion splicing, quicker and easier gel-free cable entry and faster fiber access through easy-peel ribbon technology, which eliminates the need for special tools and increases the speed and number of both fusion splicing and connectorized terminations. The gel-free ribbon drop cable is available with 12-fiber PureAccess bend-insensitive single-mode fiber that complies with ITU-657A standards. The incorporation of bend-insensitive fiber improves flexibility with bend-radiuses half that of standard SMF ribbon, thereby enabling tighter routing and minimizing the space within terminals, hubs, ONTs, and MDU applications. The use of ribbon in terminals improves reliability, handling and storage by eliminating buffer tube issues such as kinking, stranding buffer tube memory and shrinkage. As the final link to the end user, the ribbon drop cable is compatible with standard multifiber connectors for plug-andplay deployments, and may be used for both aerial and buried FTTx applications. Especially well suited for MDU applications, the new ribbon drop cable is manufactured with flame-retardant material and has been tested for P-clamp compatibility, which makes it a versatile solution for both aerial and buried applications. The versatile attributes of the new cable also allow the installer to use the cable outdoors and within buildings without changing cable types. The new cable is available in a convenient reel-inthe-box packaging. Mass fusion splicing and connectorized terminations are made easier with Sumitomo’s Easy Split & Peel technology. The dry ribbon cable design allows the installer or technician to bypass the cable cleaning procedure and to quickly and easily peel back the ribbon, by hand, to expose the underlying fiber in preparation for connectorization or splicing. With the new ribbon drop cable, Sumitomo Electric Lightwave will also showcase its new Lynx CustomFit Splice-on connector, its broad range of ribbon and loose-tube cables, and the industry’s only dual-heater single- and mass-fusion splicers. Verizon FiOS TV Makes New York City Debut Verizon (www.verizon.com) has begun offering FiOS TV service in New York City. Final regulatory approval was granted on July 16 by the New York Public Service Commission. Verizon is offering as many as 100 high-definition channels to the metro New York market, more than Time Warner or Cablevision, the incumbents. The first launch is in 108 neighborhoods, with 300,000 households passed. Customers in these neighborhoods have been signing up early for FiOS TV, and Maura Breen, Verizon general manager for New York notes, “These advance orders blew past all of our projections.” By the end of 2008, the company expects to have a half-million homes open for triple-play in New York City. One bundle for $94.99 a month features: • FiOS Internet service with a maximum connection speed of 20 megabits per second (Mbps) downstream and 5 Mbps upstream. • Verizon Freedom Essentials telephone service with unlimited local and long-distance calling. • FiOS TV service with 54 free HD channels. Other bundles include even faster Internet service of 20/20 Mbps, plus all standard- and high-definition premium channels. Says Breen, “Our engineering and installation teams have been able to wire some 800 MDUs already. Using this innovative [bend-insensitive fiber] technology has really given us a boost in designing build plans for these buildings. And we’re in discussions with hundreds of other building and property owners to bring FiOS to their properties. It’s a huge marketing advantage to have apartments that are FiOS-ready.” BBP FTTH Conference Special Applications Workshop THURSDAY September 25 9 am to 12 noon (Includes Breakfast) Hot Applications Generating Revenue for Properties Includes First Annual Broadband Applications Awards Session Leaders: Herb Hauser – Pres, Midtown Technologies Graham Richard – Frmr Mayor, FTTH Champion and Visionary Henry Pye – Asst.
