Miniflex speed up FTTH installation at CommunicAsia 2007

Miniflex, a vendor of optical fibre protection, management and installation solutions, will be demonstrating its hotly anticipated Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) installation system, MF2C™, at CommunicAsia this year in conjunction with its global distributor SENKO (stand: 4/4G1-11).

Visitors to the stand will see live demonstrations of optical fibre installations using MF2C™, (Miniflex's-Fibre-to-Customer-Connection) as well as key solutions to many of the issues faced by installers today. Miniflex has specific patented manufacturing technology enabling it to make products that make fibre installation faster, easier and reduces the cost of installation. The technology means that Miniflex's products provide a competitive edge for its customers.

In particular the Miniflex manufacturing technology enables the use of hard plastic compounds that exhibit extremely high tensile and compressive strengths. Miniflex DVC™ Microduct has a patented hard lining, bend limitation, and higher crush resistance whilst being able to negotiate bends of half the diameter typically specified. It is designed to allow fibre cable to be installed using the WAM™ installation system. Importantly, using this WAM™, the TuffNut™ cable can be installed much faster over twice the typical distance encountered during installation in Multi-Dwelling (MDU's) residential buildings.
