From environmental monitoring to safety call systems, mine site safety is a continuous priority for operations. Meet the requirements of the MSHA's Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act by increasing the capacity and capability of your fiber optic measuring and monitoring systems.
Fiber optic technology is increasingly used in avionics, communications and in-flight entertainment systems associated with air and space platforms because of its bandwidth, light weight and resistance to electromagnetic interference.
Ideal for increased dust protection, AFL’s Shuttered LC Poli-MOD offers additional protection from unintended elements to keep networks running smoothly. Poli-MOD modules provide a unique method of securing cable and leverage a snap-in splice sleeve cradle to securely manage single and ribbon fiber arrangements.
Connector inspection is becoming increasingly important for fiber network installers and administrators. Read the article by AFL's Maury Wood for Cabling Installation and Maintenance about how the advancing technology of modern fiber optic connector inspection probes has improved the process.
A reliable network can rely on either a splice in splitter or a connectorized splitter module, which differ in installation and troubleshooting, as well as economic implications. Both are viable options, however, there are advantages to considering a product that can adapt to the dynamic structure of the Passive Optical Network.
Fiber optic communication systems on the battle field are pushed to the limit. Out there, maintaining signal integrity is of utmost importance. A reliable signal requires cables that are designed to withstand difficult cable pulls, crush occurrences, and abrasion.
As bandwidth demands continue to grow, cleaning and inspection practices are becoming even more critical. Contamination of connector ends is the leading cause of network failures, but can be easily prevented by proper cleaning and inspection.
Advances in mining have long since moved past rudimentary tools.Today, sophisticated equipment relies on real-time communications to get the job done.

AFL's Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC) with SpiderWeb® Ribbon (SWR) technology was awarded a score of 4 out of 5 possible points by Lightwave Innovation Reviews. The Innovation Reviews are judged based on originality, innovation, positive impact on the customer, how well it addresses a new or existing requirement, novelty of approach, and cost-effectiveness. Using AFL's SpiderWeb Ribbon technology, WTC provides the smallest cable diameter and lowest weight, high-fiber ribbon count cable in the industry.
SpiderWeb® Ribbon (SWR®) is an innovative bonded fiber design allowing for a fast and efficient ribbonizing application or for individual fiber breakouts. The ribbons unique bonding pattern delivers the flexibility of conventional loose fiber, without the time-consuming ribbonizing process. SpiderWeb Ribbon is especially efficient when used with FUSEConnect® MPO Connectors, which help simplify multi fiber connection terminations. Find out how SWR® and FUSEConnect® MPO Connectors can help you deliver fiber applications faster by watching the video below!
From the Central Office, through The Feeder in the middle mile, and to Access in the last mile, we help design, build, and effectively manage successful FTTX networks that integrate voice, data, and video applications to keep consumers connected. Our end-to-end custom solution includes a wide variety of inside and outside plant cables, thousands of connectivity configurations as well as splicers and text equipment.
When considering distribution of information on fiber optic cable in a splice closure, three types of splicing should be considered: aerial, at grade, or below grade. Each of these splicing types has benefits as well as cost and risk associated with deployment.
The connectors entrusted to carry the critical information that passes through your networks deserve far more than a wipe on a t-shirt. AFL’s industry-leading cleaning and inspection solutions enable peak optical network performance levels while reducing service disruptions to a minimum.

The new ultra-density fiber optic cable technology, called Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC), utilizes a new optical fiber ribbon arrangement technology called Spider Web Ribbon™ (SWR™). SWR™ allows for a significant reduction in cable diameter, due to the ribbon being bunched and bundled allowing it to be packed tightly into a high density cable.
As a world leader in fiber optic cabling, connectivity, testing and splicing, AFL has the expertise to provide complete end-to-end solutions for MDU FTTx applications. Each facet of the AFL MDU Solution is designed to speed deployment time and reduce cost with cutting edge technology.
Deploying cable in outdoor broadcast environments doesn’t have to raise your blood pressure. Neither does selecting the right tactical cable for the job.
Field-installable connectors provide a convenient method for terminating fiber optic cable at remote job site locations.
The term "Game Changer" is widely overused and often misused in our industry. Not when describing the revolutionary smaller, lighter, more dense Wrapping Tube Cable.
Ripley Tools newest line of Cablematic™ tools used to compress 59/6 Universal (21mm), 59/6 EX(18mm) and RG7/RG11 "F" type connectors to coaxial cable designed with a narrow tool body and head to allow ease of use where space and cable length are limited.
