INTELLIGENT CABLING INTELLIGENT CABLING About Siemon Siemon continues environmental stewardship New bulk packaging options for fibre pigtails eliminate individual bags for reduced installation time and waste says Prem Rodrigues, Sales and Marketing Director for the Middle East, India and SAARC at Siemon. S iemon, a global network infrastructure specialist, has recently added a bulk packaging option for its line of XGLO fibre optical pigtails in the Middle East. An expansion to its line of LightHouse advanced fibre cabling solutions, these 900-micron buffered pigtails are security packaged in a protective recyclable container. Aligned with Siemon’s commitment to delivering installer-friendly solutions and protecting the environment, this bulk 30 packaging option eliminates individual bags for reduced installation time and waste. Ideal for splicing applications, the bulk fibre pigtails come in both OM3 and OM4 multimode and singlemode fibre types in fibre counts of 12 for SC connectivity and in 12 or 24 for LC connectivity. The pigtails are available with a TIA/ EIA-598-C colour code option for easy identification when splicing, ensuring continuity of colour codes throughout a cable run. The singlemode pigtails also Prem Rodrigues, Sales and Marketing Director for the Middle East, India and SAARC at Siemon. include an APC-style connector option to support passive optical networks, CATV and FTTX applications. At Siemon, we are always looking for new ways to provide cost savings to our customers, while also considering our ongoing commitment to protecting the environment. Not only do these bulk package pigtails eliminate individual bags for reduced labour, freight and waste, but they also provide savings over non-bulk pigtails that help our customers lower their total bill of material cost. ssue 07 NTELLIGENT TECH CHANNELS The new bulk package XGLO fibre optic pigtails exceed TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC specifications, including insertion loss and return loss performance, and offer a superior connector polish that meets stringent Telcordia and ISO/IEC specifications for end-face geometry.
