R & M to launch new SYNO dome cabling solution
R & M has developed a new modular outdoor closure for fibre optic networks . For a sixth consecutive year , the company is sponsoring and participating at the FTTH Council MENA , taking place at the Regency Hotel in Kuwait from 7 to 9 November 2016 , and will introduce its SYNO dome closure to the Middle East market at this event .
R & M works closely with telecom operators in Egypt , Jordan , Oman , Saudi Arabia and UAE and believes the SYNO dome closure will be a vital component in their Fibre to the Home ( FTTH ) projects . “ The FTTH Council MENA event is well attended by key players in the regional FTTH community . This edition , under the theme ‘ FTTH , The Evolution to the Digital Society ’ will highlight the benefits of the FTTH deployment for operators , governments and end-users ,” explained Sandrine Prat , Marketing & Communication Manager and R & M Middle East , Turkey & Africa .
Development of the new SYNO dome closure follows many years of experience gathered by the R & M R & D team in Switzerland and its SYNO gel technology is an innovation in mechanical cold sealing . When the cable entry is sealed in the closure , gel surrounds each cable , preventing dust and moisture from getting in . Because of this , fluctuating temperatures , mechanical loads , or water pressure cannot damage the dome-end splice in any way .
R & M will offer three models of the solution , the largest of which can hold up to 1,152 fibres and splices . The system also guarantees a bending radius of 40 mm , regardless of packing density , which is gentle on fibres . Cables up to 28 mm and micro ducts up to 14 mm in diameter fit in the kits , making the dome closure suited to virtually any application including distribution , branch , and cable joint closure .
