Cleerline SSF Fiber

 

Cleerline SSF™ is redefining fiber optic installation. Unlike traditional bend-insensitive fiber, SSF is engineered to survive rough installation, tight termination paths, constant handling and extreme environmental stress. Plus, the same properties that deliver in-the-field durability make SSF ideal for thinner, higher-density cable constructions that won't break during or after installation. 

How is this possible? Cleerline SSF leverages a patented glass-encapsulated-by-polymer construction that significantly increases optical strand strength while eliminating contaminant access points. The normal stresses that cause traditional bend-insensitive cables to fail immediately or overtime are neutralized by SSF polymer. This patented construction halts water and humidity egress, holds micro-fractures together and even binds and strengthens the optical strand when removed from the cable's buffer. 

The same SSF properties that strengthen the optical strand also deliver a better installation experience in the field. Cables built with SSF fiber terminate faster without the need for proprietary or expensive tools. Technicians can even handle the optical strand without the fear of glass shards -- everything is protected by polymer-encapsulated-glass. 

Cleerline SSF delivers a stronger cable that's perfect for extreme applications, environments and installation paths without affecting signal performance. Trust Cleerline for a Stronger, Safer and Faster-to-Terminate optical experience. 

Built Differently. Built for Durability.

Cleerline's patented SSF construction protects the optical strand from contaminant egress and micro-fracture degradation. Cables built with SSF are stronger, last longer, and are safer to handle and faster to terminate.

Stronger Cables. Thinner Cables.

Patch cords and custom assemblies built with Cleerline SSF are thinner without sacrificing strength, durability or flexibility. A 1.2mm patch cord delivers the same longevity as a 3.0mm patch cord.

Fusion Splice or Mechanically Terminate.

SSF supports both fusion splicing and mechanical termination. Fusion splicing simply requires the remove of the SSF polymer with a tri-hole stripper. Mechanical terminations are simple, fast and safe thanks to polymer encased optical strand.
