CommScope’s HeliARC™ cable addresses the challenges of rural fiber deployment. This cable's unique design and easy handling reduce wasted material and deployment times, improving the rural fiber deployment business case. HeliARC's helical stranding process eliminates the need for binder yarns, replaces water-blocking tape with two small threads, and reduces steel armor tape width and the medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) compound used. The result is a slimmer, stronger, more robust, resilient cable that affords longer aerial spans with lower tension—a must-have for rural FTTH networks.
Judge’s Comment: “A must-have for low-density segments.”
