Mini C2™ Cable
Item Number
Mini C2™ CableDescription
Mini C2™ CableThe Mini C2™ Cable is size-optimized for a maxi-mum of 12 fibers to help minimize deployment costs. This small and lightweight, yet highly durable cable offers easy installation and handling while providing additional protection in the demanding outside plant (OSP) environment.
To construct the Mini C2 Cable, one to twelve optical fibers are placed within a 3 mm gel-fi lled central tube. An overlapping layer of electrolytically chrome-coated, corrugated steel (ECCS) armor then envelopes the central tube. Two steel strength rods are next placed lengthwise along the armor, diametrically positioned to each other, to provide extra compressive strength. Finally, a durable polyethylene (PE) jacket is added to help provide protection in the rigorous OSP environment.
Applications
OSP
Features and Benefits- Optimized for fiber counts up to 12 for reduced deployment costs
- Small diameter and lightweight design for easy handling and installation
- 600-poind (2700 N) Maximum Rated Cable Load (MRCL)
- Ease of location following installation
- Quick fiber access with standard tooling
- Corrugated ECCS armor and steel strength rods for added durability and compressive strength
- RDUP (formerly RUS) listed; complies with Telcordia Technologies GR-20 specifications for reliable performance
- Standard availability with AllWave® Zero Water Peak (ZWP) Single-Mode, TrueWave® RS Low Water Peak (LWP), and Multimode Fibers

HomeRun MDU Cabling System
Item Number
HomeRun MDU Cabling SystemDescription
HomeRun MDU Cabling SystemTraditional solutions require difficult field bundling and pulling of large diameter multiple drop cables assemblies up a riser and down a hallway, or installing two segments of smaller connectorized cable in the riser and hallway. Other more recent solutions use drop cabling bundled together with strands that can catch on objects making installation difficult. The OFS HomeRun MDU Cabling Solution uses drop cabling bundled in the factory with a low friction sheath enabling 12 compact drop cords to be easily pulled up a riser and down a hallway in a single step.
The HomeRun Solution features OFS’ ultra-bend-insensitive EZ-Bend®Fiber, which offers less than 0.1 dB of added loss at 1550 nm for 1 turn at a 5 mm bend radius, and is fully compatible with the installed base of fibers. The use of EZ-Bend Fiber assemblies allows for sharp bends and conformal routing to reduce visual impact and fit in the confined spaces typical in many MDUs and residences.
Applications
In-Home, MDU
Features and Benefits- EZ-Bend Fiber exhibits less than 0.1 dB macrobending attenuation at 1550 nm for 1 turn at 5 mm fiber bend radius
- EZ-Bend Fiber or AllWave® ZWP FLEX+ Fiber is fully splice-compatible with the existing installed base of fibers
- 100% Factory Tested
- Color-coded subunits provide easy fiber identification
- Small 1.6 mm cordage speeds stripping and termination process
- Eliminates need for and loss of riser to hallway fiber connections
- High Reliability
- Installation in space-constrained hallways
- RoHS compliant; free from heavy metals and environmentally-friendly
- UL® Listed Riser per UL® 1666 Riser Flame Test and CSA certified per OFN FT4
