Why
Choose FutureFLEX®
Air Blown®
Fiber Optic
Cabling System
 The benefits of using
fiber optic cable in your network like high bandwidth performance, immunity
from electromagnetic interference, space efficiency, and security are clear.
But do you know what FutureFLEX Air Blown Fiber Optic Cabling can add to
that?
Manufactured by the Sumitomo
Electric lightwave Corporation, FutureFLEX Air Blown Fiber Optic Cabling
System is a better solution than traditional fiber optic cabling because it:
Provides added reliability from a signal standpoint.
Simplifies installation and on-going cable management.
Dramatically reduces the cost of future moves, adds, and changes.
Often a lower cost than standard fiber optic and copper networks.
The FutureFLEX Air Blown Fiber Optic Cabling System has already become a
mainstream network cabling solution that is being used in a variety of
applications, including universities, hospitals, government buildings, and a
range of leading-edge industries.
The advantages of the FutureFLEX Cabling System are that it allows for
easy installation by blowing small fiber bundles through a network of tubes.
Changing the system is as easy as blowing new fiber optic bundles through
extra tubes in the network and often takes just minutes to complete. This
significantly reduces the labor and cabling costs associated with changing
or rerouting a traditional fiber or cable network.
The FutureFLEX Cabling System also helps to future proof your network
without all the added costs of buying cable and installing cabling before
you ever use it. Because the system provides empty tubes that can be used at
any time, you don’t need to buy additional fiber optic cable until you need
it.
In short, the FutureFLEX Cabling System can be quickly installed and lets
you easily future proof your network — ensuring continued savings of both
dollars and man-hours.
How
the FutureFLEX Fiber Optic Cabling System Works
The easiest way to
understand the full range of benefits offered by the FutureFLEX Cabling
System is to understand how it works.
Instead of pulling standard cable,
the FutureFLEX Cabling System uses a patented blowing method. A compact
fiber bundle, available in a variety of configurations, is blown through a
tube, the pressure source is either compressed
air or bottles of compressed nitrogen, at speeds of 100 to 150 feet per
minute to anywhere in the LAN you want it to go.
The heart of the system is a highway of tube cable that is installed in
place of traditional innerduct. The tube cable replaces conduit, innerduct
and pull boxes. It contains from 1 to 19 individually numbered tube cells —
each with an internal diameter of 6mm — inside a tough, outer jacket. A
variety of tube styles is available, with versions designed to meet the
requirements for use in plenum, riser, general purpose and outdoor
applications. In fact, virtually every installation or application
environment is covered. Outside plant FutureFLEX cables are designed to
inhibit water intrusion and can be steel armored for direct burial
applications.
FutureFLEX Air Blown Fiber is easy to install. It makes turns easily and
installs simply into an existing conduit infrastructure. Once the tube cable
highway is in place, the fiber installation takes only minutes, with minimal
labor. Spare tubes are added during the initial installation. So any time
you want to add fiber or make changes in the network, you easily can. The
blowing method and tube design allows you to change the network simply by
blowing the fiber out, rerouting the tubing at patching intersection points
and blowing the fiber back into the new network configuration. The process
is simple, fast and keeps installation costs down to a fraction of what they
would be to pull new fiber optic cable.
FutureFLEX ABF uses the same type of glass as conventional fiber optic
cables, as well as the same connection and termination. It complies with all
premises networking media standards. It has been tested to meet TIA/EIA 598
and ICEA 596, which includes all mechanical and optical requirements. In
addition, it meets UL 1666, Riser, and UL 910, Plenum. The FutureFLEX fiber
optic cable is smaller than comparable conventional fiber cable, typically
1/40th the size. There’s no pulling force with air blown fiber installation,
which means there is little chance of damage. This eliminates the need for
bulky strength elements, fillers or tensile strength members found in
traditional cable.
The fiber bundles have an aerodynamically designed jacket. The
specialized material that sheaths the fiber bundle provides an irregular
surface, much like the dimples on a golf ball that catches the air to propel
the fiber through the tube. The equipment and accessories necessary to
install the FutureFLEX ABF system are minimal. A blowing head, pressure
source tank, tube cables, fiber bundles, TDUs and FTUs, connectors, and
patch cords are about all it takes. With FutureFLEX ABF, two people can
install one mile of cable in 45 minutes. With conventional cable, it takes
six to eight people from two to three days at a minimum to pull a single
mile of cable.
At each patching intersection, tube cable cells are joined in a
protective housing called a tube distribution unit (TDU). TDUs can be placed
wherever a fiber termination cabinet would be placed and can take many
forms, including wall-mounted boxes for indoor use and watertight boxes with
splice cases for out-door use. The TDU provides an access point for
connecting tube segments and for future rerouting of the system. It’s this
point-to-point system that eliminates splicing except at the end points —
saving time and money.
FutureFLEX
Cost Savings
 As you’ve probably
already surmised, cost is a major benefit of FutureFLEX Cabling System. It
significantly reduces labor as a prime cost component. Which means
significant saving in installation and for moves, adds, and changes.
Thanks to the TDUs, all splice points are
eliminated, except at termination points, resulting in reduced attenuation and greater reliability. Also, in
many cases the tubes replace the need for conduit, saving significant
dollars.
There is no need to buy additional dark fiber to future proof your
network; you install the exact cable you need, when you need it. You don’t
need to have a lot of excess capacity sitting dark for years — and that
might not be what you need when the time comes to utilize it. The FutureFLEX
Cabling System provides tremendous advantages when the application has a
large number of splice points and connections with conventional cable.
FutureFLEX ABF point-to-point runs of up to 6,000 feet at speed of up to a
150 feet per minute provide quick splice free installation — which
significantly reduces labor costs.
Some of the most significant cost benefits of FutureFLEX can be
appreciated after the initial installation, when reconfiguration becomes
necessary. FutureFLEX is the extremely cost-effective system for moves adds
and changes. You can change the network quickly and easily… often in only a
matter of hours with 2 people. Because the tube structures are already in
place, change is as easy and as inexpensive as re-directing the inner tube
cable pathways at the TDU and blowing in new or re-routed fiber bundles.
Even if you have to add new tube cable, the process is equally simple and
inexpensive. Whether you utilize existing tube cable or install new, the
FutureFLEX Cabling System greatly minimizes down time at your operation or
facility.
Applications
 FutureFLEX ABF will
support several cabling topologies simultaneously. The network can be
designed to fit the specific needs of each user group, regardless of their
application requirements — from physical ring to bus, star or hierarchical
star topologies.
With FutureFLEX ABF, you also
benefit also from improved bandwidth, RFI/EMI immunity and the increased distance capabilities of fiber. Few cabling products have undergone more
complete testing than the FutureFLEX Cabling System. It meets not only
optical performance, but also mechanical performance requirements for the
fiber and the tube cable.
FutureFLEX ABF takes the guesswork out of network planning and provides
the broadest possible range of application support — from data applications
to the newest applications like Facility Management Systems, video systems
and life and safety systems. It is economical to install, flexible to
manage, and responsive to your current and future needs.
FutureFLEX has been widely accepted, with major installations such as the
Pentagon, the University of California at Riverside, The Getty Center, the
LAN Kaiser Permanente Hospitals in California, and the University of
Cincinnati to name just a few.
