Users should be aware that combined indoor/outdoor cables must be absolutely waterproof according to the current EN 60794-1. The Multimedia Solutions BU of the Prysmian Group has the right solution here: the fibre optic loose tube cables of the N-series in fibre counts up to 432. They are currently the only cables on the market that combine high water resistance with a ... Read more
The digital transformation, brought about by the next generation of mobile communications, 5G, is changing the global needs for network infrastructures. In order to actively shape the change, the Multimedia Solutions (MMS) division of the Prysmian Group is working on the development of innovative fibre optic and copper communication cables. Andreas Wassmuth, Business Development Director of MMS, explains which five industry trends are driving innovation at MMS to address the digital ... Read more
The launch of 5G and the further implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) will create high demand for cables, according to Prysmian Group's Multimedia Solutions BU (MMS). MMS, with its fibre and copper data transmission cables, is well positioned to be a leading player in the growing indoor and private networking market. "The business unit ... Read more
Cables are exposed to very high tensile forces during installation and often also during operation. If the tensile load capacity is just sufficient for the installation, the forces acting on the cable can increase the fibre elongation. This means greater stress and thus a shortened fibre service life. To counteract this, the Prysmian Group's Multimedia Solutions (MMS) BU ... Read more
When installing fibre optic cables, companies often have to compromise between the factors of safety, quality, cost and application practices. For example, some cables with a high fibre count do not meet the required CPR classes - and vice versa. But there is another way: with Draka CPR Cca and B2ca loose tube cables with up to 288 optical fibres, users get everything in one. The ... Read more
