  • MINISM@RT™

    Our Minism@rt cables present the next stage in fibre optic cable deployment. Using state of the art manufacturing technology and process control, Prysmian has drastically miniaturised loose tube cables, offering benefits to both installers and network owners.

  • Composite cables

  • OptiC@t™5e

    The communication cable OptiC@t™5e is a combo of a four pair Cat 5E and two bend-insensitive fibres. Not only will it’s capability for super high-speed make the building attractive to future owners, the Low Smoke Zero Halogen sheath makes the building much safer, too. Plus, the cables insensitivity to bending makes it a lot easier and less expensive to install. Copper and optic fibre links the present to the future and gives you the better of two worlds.

  • Outdoor optic fibre cables

  • SM@RTCORE®

    Our size-reduced SM@RTCORE® range of fibre optic loose tube cables saves you space, time and money. It’s easier to install and you can increase the number of fibres in a duct, lower the number of ducts needed or extend the life of existing ducts. Plus, the strong, still smooth, polyethylene/nylon sheath protects against termites and reduces friction.

  • Central Tube

    This Loose tube dielectric optical cable is designed for external underground installations in ducts by pulling, jetting or floating techniques or by direct burial in open-cut trenches. The cable is designed for installation in areas where mechanical impact is expected.

  • FlexTube

    The FlexTube products offer many advantages compared with using standard loose tube optical cable. The innovative micromodule design incorporates soft, flexible fibre units – more dense and quicker to prepare and install. These key benefits of denser design and easier handling translate to major savings in terms of time and cost – and the larger the project, the greater the savings.

  • HSe Extr@core®

    HSe Extr@core® is a frontier fibre cables breaking new ground. Our latest test equipment brings trial and error to a completely new level, replicating forces only found in the most hostile black soil of Australia. The first result, HSe Extr@Core®, was above all expectations.

  • ARM@CORE – All Dielectric

    Terminate the rat battle with heavy armour. Our all-dielectric ARM@CORE fibre optic cables are fully protected against ruthless Australian rodents. Despite the solid hardware these loose tube cables are still surprisingly lightweight, flexible and easy to handle. The Prysmian ARM@CORE cable uses glass reinforced plastic (GRP) rods to fully armour the cable and offer the robust protection needed to block rodents and polyamide provides anti-termite protection.

  • Corrugated Steel Tape Armoured

    The Corrugated Steel Tape Armoured cable is designed for external underground installations in ducts or by direct burial. Corrugated steel tape provides rodent protection and polyamide provides anti-termite protection. The armoured structure also provides additional compressive strength for the cable. Use this type of optical cables when you want maximum crush resistance.

  • Ribbon Cables

    Ribbon Fibre Cables offer extremely high fibre density as well as the advantages of Mass Fusion Splicing – where 12 fibres can be fusion spliced in one operation. This has the potential to speed up network roll out and significantly cut splicing and installation costs. Prysmian is the only cable supplier manufacturing fibre ribbons in Australia, these are supplied in a range of fibre count cables from small 72 fibre cables to high capacity 864 fibre cables.

  • SINGLE-MODE

  • G652D

    This series is part of the most deployed fibre type worldwide and can be used in all cable constructions including loose tube, tight buffered, ribbon and central tube designs. We offer two types, standard and enhanced. The enhanced Single-Mode Fibre (ESMF) is compliant with ITU-T Recommendation G.652, Table D. The tighter geometrical, attenuation and PMD specifications of the enhanced type enables superior performance in long haul, metropolitan, access and premises applications for telecommunications, CATV and utility networks.
