Reduced Bend Sensitivity Patch Cords
Netprom patch cords and pigtails are available in both singlemode and multimode classes based on reduced bend sensitivity (RBS) fibre cable.
RBS patch cords exhibit much lower optical power loss under bend conditions while remaining compatible with conventional cabling. RBS patch cords are made with solid trench assisted optical fibre that is designed to reduce optical loss when the cable is bent. RBS patch cords provide the same high quality, mechanical features and optical performance as our standard patch cords with the added capability of maintaining optical performance when bent or flexed.
RBS patch cords are available for multimode (OM3 and OM4) and singlemode (OS2/ G.657A1 and G.657A2) networks.<p>Netprom patch cords and pigtails are available in both singlemode and multimode classes based on reduced bend sensitivity (RBS) fibre cable.</p>
RBS patch cords an which low loss in tight radius routing is important:
- When routing cable around corners and in tight spaces is required, for example in FTTH installations in existing buildings
- FTTH cabling in POPs, MDU distribution points and subscriber connections
- Data Centres where network uptime is critical. For example, OM4 RBS patch cords will continue to provide data service when pinched by a cabinet door, whereas service would be lost with conventional OM4 patch cords
- Generally, when small radius installation is needed or the cabling may be subjected to occasional small radius events
