OptoComb is an optical riser cable specifically intended for vertical cabling of multi-storey buildings in FTTH environments. OptoComb employs Belconn’s OptoFlat cable design technology to achieve easier, faster and more convenient installation.

With OptoComb you’ll forget about:

• deploying star networks with tens of fibres running across the building to reach subscribers, or
• laying vertical optical backbones, which require floor distribution boxes, critical fibre splices, expensive pigtails, adapters and connectors.

OptoComb makes all that easier and faster.

OptoComb optical fibre cable is designed to be vertically routed in the building, by means of laying, pulling, or even air blowing. Same as in a comb, OptoComb central core has parallel channels, each being populated by an optical subscriber circuit (1 or 2 fibres); each circuit runs adjacent and
independent from the others and can be extracted by applying a negligible force. Branching of optical circuits at floor level is very easy:

1. select the circuit to be branched;
2. cut a segment of the jacket off the cable by using a cutter;
3. gently pull the selected fibre circuit downwards;
4. Restore the cable with self fusing tape;
5. Finally, run fibres directly to the subscriber; these are easy to route in narrow areas, scratch proof, pull resistant, and splices are no longer needed.

OptoComb optical fibre cable is available in 8, 16 and 24 optical circuit configuration. Each circuit can be either a single core o dual core optical fibre cable, thus ending up to a maximum of 48 fibres capacity.

Individual circuit cables are available with standard G652 fibre or with the newest low bending radius G657 fibre, the latter providing full downward compatibility with standard SM/R.

Due to their thin design and embedded aramidic yarns reinforcement, circuit cables are perfectly suitable for routing in narrow environments whilst additionally providing high scratch and tensile strength
resistance.
