Draka estimates that implementation time and labor costs can be reduced by as much as 50 percent with additional savings achieved through reduced cable splicing and storage space.

Draka’s Ready-Connect Duplex uses two bend-insensitive fiber cables with pre-mounted 2.6-mm diameter ferrules blown through 4-mm cable trunking inner diameter micro-ducts. The micro-duct approach is based upon jetting technology processes proven in the industry for several years as a reliable solution in large-scale FTTH installations, often involving over 200,000 homes, according to Draka.

By using ventilated end caps there is no need for a technician inside the customer premises because the fiber stops automatically once it reaches the consumer’s home, Draka says cable tie. The final connector is snapped on during a single operator visit to complete the termination.
