Hydra fibre trunk cables are an excellent way of connecting devices, such as optical or backbone switches, by reducing the number of physical cables (and amount of space) that would be required using traditional fibre patch cables.

Space saving is achieved by using our small diameter microcore cables with LC connectors to ensure superb cable management and make installation quicker and simpler.

Ideally suited to telecommunication applications, hydra trunk cables:

  • Save space in cable routes by using multicore (12 to 48 fibre) microcore cable instead of individual duplex patch cables
  • Save cost by using fewer cables
  • Are ideal for dense patching fields and applications

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Fibre Trunk Cables That Save Space and Improve Cable Routing

Our Hydra trunk fibre cables use a microcore cable design that can save up to 80% of space in cable baskets, trays, or ducts.

In contrast to traditional 2-3mm duplex patch cables, our compact microcore cable design contains 12 or 24 fibres in just a single 3mm outer sheath.

The huge difference in cable diameter significantly reduces the amount of cabling required to connect two devices together. Instead of using as many as 12 duplex fibre patch cables that could use up to 36mm diameter of valuable space in cable routes, a Hydra trunk cable would use only 3mm for the same link.

In addition, the space saved by using fewer cables reduces the commercial cost of space per square metre used by cable routes.

As well as its space saving qualities, Hydra trunk cables are also the quickest and most efficient way of running a considerable number of duplex links from A to B.

Installation time is drastically reduced as an engineer needs to only run one cable to connect two points, instead of multiple fibre patch cables.

Importantly, Hydra trunk cables help organise dense patching fields using custom tails lengths and configurations that can also remove excess cable slack resulting in easier data cabinet management.
