Optical Fiber Cable (OFC) continues to be the backbone of the digital world. The exponential rise in the digital population and the consequent explosion in data consumption is necessitating the increase in speed and bandwidth of OFC networks. Our OFC products and capabilities have constantly been evolving, enabling us to sustain the market leadership in OFC manufacturing.
1F to 1152F, our cable solutions are customizable for varied applications and customer requirements. Our OFCs are manufactured in fully automated and controlled environments at our three state-of-art manufacturing facilities in Goa, Chennai (Tamil Nadu), and Hyderabad (Telangana).
Armoured cables are manufactured in both metallic and dielectric constructions. Depending on applications, cables are designed in both unitube and multitube constructions. Corrugated steel tape and steel wires are offered for metallic armouring while FRP and glass yarns are offered for dielectric armouring. Cables are customized to meet high tensile performance and crush resistance as per desired field conditions.

Upgraded version of a underground duct cable where glass yarn dielectric armouring is used for unitube and multitube constructions that enhances rodent protection.
Robust FRP armouring is provided over the core that makes the cable rodent proof and enables the usage of these cables for both underground direct burial and ADSS applications.
Corrugated steel tape armouring, provided in both unitube and multitube constructions for single and double sheath cables, enhances the crush resistance and tensile performance. Widely used for direct burial application.
Metallic steel wire armouring over the core provides robustness in terms of high tensile performance and crush resistance and makes it suitable for machine pulling during installation.
Tight buffered fibers are protected with spiral armouring that enables these cables to have low diameters with super flexibility and suitable for riser application for telecom towers.
Based on customer requirements, high fiber counts above 96F are also offered in ribbon construction that saves time and efforts by splicing all fibers in the ribbon in a single go, instead of individually splicing the fibers.

Loose fibers in jelly-filled tubes ranging from 2F-432F are offered in both unitube and multitube construction that makes the cable suitable for both blowing and manual pulling applications.
High fiber counts ranging from 96-1152F are offered in 6/8/12F ribbons that saves time and efforts by splicing all fibers in the ribbon in a single go, instead of individually splicing the fibers.
These cables are designed for overhead pole to pole deployment. Cables are manufactured for pole distance ranging from 30 meters to 500 meters span. Installation is comparatively cost effective and faster as compared to underground deployment.
