When talking about direct attach cables, we may come across breakout cable, such as Cisco QSFP+ breakout cable. There are many kinds of breakout cables, and they are suitable for various applications. For example, a Cisco QSFP-4SFP10G-CU5M compatible QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ passive direct attach copper breakout cable, as shown below, connects to a 40G QSFP+ port of a Cisco switch on one end and to four 10G SFP+ ports of a Cisco switch on the other end, and is used for very short distances and offers a very cost-effective way to connect within racks and across adjacent racks. Other than copper breakout cable, there is also fiber breakout cable. What is fiber breakout cable? How much do you know about fiber breakout cable? In this post, a brief introduction to fiber breakout cable will be given.

M2FX In Building Solution February 2015Simon Roberts
I was recently invited by Mobily (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) to present several workshop sessions on how M2fx would improve the FTTH installation for low rise MDU customers.
In essence, by using our Miniflex outdoor/indoor cable Mobily has been able to reduce its installation cost per connection as well as increase the quality of the components used to ensure a higher lifetime expectancy in the challenging 50degree summer temperatures.
While the network design adopted by Mobily might not be the same in other regions, the ability to utilise a UV stable cable directly on the outside of the building, which can then be pushed by hand through existing electrical conduits before being pinned/glued to the internal walls, all this has dramatically reduced the installation time, skill set and requirement for installation equipment.
So is all cable created equally…at M2fx we believe not…
Whether to go for underground or aerial deploymentAngelina Li
choose which method to install a fiber optic network depends on a variety of factors including the landscape, cost of the labor and equipment, and so on.
TiniFiber® is an award-winning, U.S. patented innovation for the fiber optic cable industry that combines the strength of armored fiber cables and the size of conventional fiber jackets into one (1) powerful solution for all commercial projects.
Micro Armor Fiber™ is the single best solution to encase and protect the fiber optic cables. The cable is built around the smallest Outer Diameter (OD) and lightest stainless steel Micro Armor Fiber™ for superior durability, bendability, ruggedness, as well as crush and rodent resistant for all project usages.
The solution offers considerable advantages over the traditional Aluminum Interlocking Armor (AIA) widely used today, and it substantially lowers the cost for installation time, manpower hours, storage, and shipping while adding superior durability and unmatched flexibility.
For far too long, the industry standard has been Aluminum Interlocking Armor, which is disproportionately large compared to the fibers they encase. They are heavy, cumbersome and not nearly as flexible as non-armored versions of the same fiber optic cables.
The benefits of a smaller, lighter, stronger, and more flexible armored fiber optic solution in a DAS application are numerous. From the system provider (Contractor, Installer) standpoint, there is a substantial reduction in labor costs and overall manpower hours associated with armored fiber DAS installations. The reduced weight and size of TiniFiber speak to this directly. And we’re not talking about slightly; Micro Armor Fiber is 65% smaller and 75% Lighter than its AIA counterpart. When you start adding up the amount of fiber optic cables required for a Distributed Antenna System and the fact that there are often multiple runs and redundancy, the difference becomes exponential. Shipping costs alone can be a major differential on a large project.
Designed with the smallest armor outer diameter which allows easy installation in tight pathways.
65% smaller in size and 75% percent lighter than standard Aluminum Interlocking Armor.
Reduces the cost of manpower hours for installations, shipping, delivery and warehousing.
Built with a tightly wrapped stainless steel coil for durability and strength for all project usages.
TiniFiber can be used wherever conventional indoor/outdoor fiber cables are used.
Won 2015/16 coveted Platinum Level Government Award for Best Fiber Optic.
Exceeds the industry performance standards.
