OCC Solutions for Campus Networks

With the implementation of real-time collaboration, video monitoring, and wireless integration for public safety systems, to name a few, the demands on enterprise campus networks are becoming more complex.  In addition, the requirements for secure and high-speed connections are increasing exponentially as users are accessing critical applications on may different devices.   As a result, campus networks must be ready to support this growing number of applications and services in order to quickly and efficiently strengthen their organization’s ever-changing business needs. 

OCC’s HC cable was designed specifically to meet these challenges.  The HC cable features OCC’s unique tight-buffered fiber units and is an ideal solution for campus networks and indoor/outdoor installations.  HC cables combine the ruggedness of tight-buffers with high-fiber density, resulting in cables that have an outer diameter much smaller than conventional cables using buffer tubes. No other cable matches the mechanical and environmental performance while maintaining a small diameter and high-duct efficiency.

The HC cable construction provides:

• A > 20% reduction in diameter and a > 20% reduction in weight relative to conventional loose-tube cables allowing for greater fiber density and cable packing within a duct
• Core-Locked™ outer jacket design for installation survivability and helically-stranded core for greater flexibility and mechanical protection of the optical fiber units
• A cost savings by eliminating the need to splice outdoor cable to indoor cable at building entrance
• Easy terminations using OCC’s fiber stripping tool, fan-out kits, and various connector options
• Superior performance tested and qualified by the manufacturer

Campus LANs can have very unique criteria and demands that require proven performance and reliability.  The full suite of HC cable options enable customers to build and expand robust, cost-effective, and optimized campus network infrastructures that meet both current and future organization requirements.
