R&M puts ribbon fiber cables in main distribution frames for carriers and data centers

R&M, the global Swiss developer and provider of connectivity systems for high-quality, high-performance network infrastructures, today launched its new PRIME Ribbon distribution module in the Middle East. The slide-in module for the fiber optic distributor rack PRIME connects ribbon fiber cables with the flexible and proven PRIME program. With this type of cable, the number of optical fibers in a rack can be increased by 30% to 40%.

In comparison to single fiber cables, ribbon fiber cables offer several advantages. They enable a higher number of fibers with the same cable diameter as well as the splicing of 8 or 12 fibers in one working step. With this technology, three to four times more fibers can be laid in a conduit or rack than usual.

The PRIME ribbon distribution modules from R&M occupy a 3/4 height unit in a 19″ rack. Their capacity is 96 fibers. In addition to the splice patch variant with LC duplex or SC couplings, R&M offers a pure splice variant for 288 splices.

The PRIME ribbon distribution modules are suitable for fiber to the home projects in combination with the PRIME racks. They are used for network expansion in central offices, POPs and street cabinets. Data centers use them to consolidate the fiber optic cabling of meet-me rooms and zone distributors. Campus networks and backbones in large buildings are also among the areas of application.

As borders slowly open and airlines start to fly and take to the skies once again, it is important that crew members feel reassured and confident about their health when flying and performing their duty onboard an aircraft.

By using Hazmat suits or medical gowns on top of the uniforms, Airlines will hide their culture and the colors; and they will spend plenty of money which will be wasted and thrown out at the end of the day. Thinking about sustainability and keeping cost under control as well as having a nice and elegant look for flight crew is a big advantage of the Keyvan design and final product.

Keyvan Aviation offers Airlines Crew Antibacterial Uniform to all Flight and Ground crew which will bring higher level of the safety against bacteria and viruses and keep the Airlines beauty and cultures together while saving the operational cost for Airlines.

Having skin friendly, comfort advantages, and using natural material and recyscable as well as using antibacterial and antiviral finishing on the product made it a useful costume to keep crew member safer. Ability to wash and use during a reasonable life cycle of a normal uniform is a big cost effective benefit for airlines.

Using a silver ion technology enables Keyvan Aviation offers a better protection for body against electromagnetic shielding effect during their duty, as well. They use a new technology and combine them with fashion ideas to keep Airlines crew safe and offer a pleasant flight to passengers by maintaining the highest levels of safety in their product.
