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.

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…

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

18. 10 Reasons Why Fiber Optic Versus Copper Cable
Fiber optic cables are the most popular mediums for both new cabling
installations and upgrades including: backbone, horizontal, and even
desktop/home applications. Fiber offers a number of advantages over copper.
1. Less Power: Fiber optic cabling uses less power and provides less signal degradation than copper cables.
2. Greater Bandwidth: Fiber provides more bandwidth than copper and has standardized performance up to
100 Gbps and beyond.
3. Speed & Distance:. Fiber distances depend on the style of cable, wavelength and network. Distances can
range from 550 meters (984.2 ft.) for 10-Gbps multimode and up to 40 kilometers (24.8 mi.) for single-
mode fiber cable.
4. Security: Your data is safe with fiber cable. It doesn’t radiate signals and is extremely difficult to tap.
5. Centralize: Fiber networks also enable you to put all your electronics and hardware in one central location,
instead of having wiring closets with equipment throughout the building.
6. Reliability: Fiber provides extremely reliable data transmission. It’s completely immune to many
environmental factors that affect copper cable.
7. Design: Fiber is lightweight, thin, and more durable when armored, than copper cable.
8. Migration: The proliferation and lower costs of media converters are making copper to fiber migration
much easier
9. Field Termination: Auto-aligning pins ensure accuracy for field termination. The use of pig-tails and pre-
terminated cable make field connections quick and easy.
10. Cost: Fiber typically costs less to maintain, has less downtime, and requires less networking hardware.

Since that first installation over a year ago, Smart Choice has continually scoped out TiniFiber for a wide variety of projects and is
working towards making Micro Armor Fiber the new standard for all cabling jobs going forward. “Micro Armor Fiber is tougher
than other fiber without a doubt,” says Stepanov. “It provides maximum flexibility and gives us much more versatility, allowing us
to work in large buildings and get around bends without worrying about cracking or breaking.”
During some fiber-optic installations there is a need to provide extra protection for the cable due to the installation environment.
That environment may be underground or in buildings with congested pathways. Installing an armored fiber-optic cable in these
scenarios provides extra protection for the optical fiber and added reliability for the network, lessening the risk of downtime and
cable damage due to rodents, construction work, weight of other cables and other factors.
“We’ve done a lot of installs in large stadiums and schools, and inevitably the client always requests changes a year or more later,”
says Stepanov. “When you’re using standard fiber and moving it at an angle, it could potentially break and cost the client tens of
thousands of dollars. Bottom line: when fiber breaks in a 100-story building it’s a huge, expensive disaster.”
Working with TiniFiber has helped Smart Choice save their clients significant time and financial resources. Measuring 65% lighter
in weight and 75% smaller in size than popular Aluminum Interlocking Armor (AIA) fiber optic cables, Micro Armor Fiber
translates into more versatility, lower shipping and installation costs, and decreased manpower hours to complete projects.
“When scoping out new technology, the most important thing we look for is how it can
help our clients,” Stepanov added. “With TiniFiber, it was a no-brainer.”
