2. The Installer dream….

3. The basic principle Step 1
The Stripping Tool has been designed to safely cut the windows on the Riser Cable.
If used properly, it cannot damage the fibre units.
Step 1
On a higher floor cut the selected fibre module
1st window cut: “pick window”
(Typical 20 m)
Step 2
On the subscriber’s floor pull back the selected fibre module
Optical Line
Termination
2nd window cut: “extraction window”

4. The basic principle 5 Easy Steps 1 2 3 4 5
LAY the RetractaCable from Distribution Point along the Homes.
OPEN the RetractaCable in front of the homes to connect.
CUT the desired fibre module in the first next (from DP) opened cable spot.
PULL the cut fibre module out (retract), in case the length is > 50 meter a tool can be used for retracting, storage and pushing or blowing.
PUSH and/or BLOW the retracted fibre module through a drop duct up to the home. 1
LAY 2
OPEN 3
CUT 4
PULL 5
PUSH/BLOW

5. Specific tools
Cutting tools to perform a window cut to access the modules 5

6. Specific tools
Picking tool to cut the module inside the cable at 1.5m from the jacket window 6

7. The basic principle
Two ways to extract fibre modules
Cut the fibre module one home further and splice the fibres in the home.
Cut the fibre module 1.5m from the home and splice the fibres at the tap-off point

8. Retractable solutions
Designed for Indoor and OSP
Reduction of 15 to 30% on installation time
Extremely Compact (i.e. 720fo cable with 16mm O.D.)
No cable loop, very small closures, prefab. manholes
Ideal for installation in existing / new duct infrastructures or in soft soil.
The simplicity of the concept reduces the need for skilled labour
Extremely efficient in both brownfield & greenfield sites
G.657A2/B2 fibres
The RetractaNetXS Solution for OSP applications reflects Draka’s continued commitment to bringing new technologies, concepts, and innovation to the FTTH marketplace.

14. Drop cable for branching
Application : Aerial D C B A
Aerial splicing box
Drop cable for branching
At each splicing box, the selected modules are cut to be retracted over 1.5m and spliced to a drop cable for branching. 14

15. Application : Aerial

16. Application : Direct Buried
