Product Description

When you need a high-performance cabling solution for premises distribution or fiber backbone applications, look to the Lightera ACCUMAX® Family of Premises Cables. Whether your installation requires riser, plenum or dual-rated, low-smoke zero halogen (LSZH) products, Lightera has an ACCUMAX cable solution to meet your needs.

ACCUMAX Cables have the flexibility to handle virtually any application between the building entrance and the desktop – in most environments from the office to factory floor. High-quality materials and a patented reverse oscillating lay (ROL) manufacturing process are two reasons why ACCUMAX Cables help set the industry standard for quality and reliability.

To construct an ACCUMAX Cable, coated optical fibers are first buffered with colored 900 micron (µm) protective coatings. For cables with 12 fibers or less, the buffered fibers are then surrounded by aramid yarn for added strength and are overjacketed for protection with a proprietary PVC sheath (for riser and plenum cable) or a flame-retardant non-halogen jacket (for LSZH cable).

Why The ACCUMAX Cables?

ACCUMAX Cables offer flexible and robust cabling solutions for virtually any indoor premises application, in both the horizontal and vertical distribution environments. In fact, these versatile cables can eliminate the cost of installing any other inside cable; simply select the design and fiber count that you need from the ACCUMAX product line.

The ACCUMAX cable design helps save time and money on installation by allowing faster, easier cable preparation. The best-in-class Lightera fiber coating and high-quality tight buffered fibers ensure minimal termination effort, saving time and eliminating the risk of damaged or broken fibers during connector installation.

The compact, yet rugged ACCUMAX cable design has proven itself in the confined spaces of data centers, central offices and CATV head ends, and is especially suitable for installation in riser shafts, above drop ceilings, under raised floors or in conduits.

Single-Tube and Multi-Tube Design Options

Single-Tube and Multi-Tube Design Options:

Unlike many other premises cables, ACCUMAX® 18- and 24-Fiber Cables are available in both single-tube and multi-tube design options. No matter what your premises installation requirements or preferences may be, Lightera offers an ACCUMAX Cable to meet your needs.

ACCUMAX Riser-Rated Cable

ACCUMAX Riser-Rated Cable:

ACCUMAX Riser-Rated Distribution Cable (pictured on first page) was the first 100% lead-free riser cable available in the optical fiber industry. This cable is suitable for zone wiring, and is a smart choice for most fiber-to-the-workstation applications (as described in the ANSI or EIA/TIA specifications for premises distribution systems). ACCUMAX Riser-Rated Cable is also well-suited for central office vault to frame installations and prewired shelves, as well as a wide range of other optical network applications.

All ACCUMAX Riser-Rated Cables and unit tubes carry the OFNR classification as described in the National Electrical Code (NEC) and are certified per OFNR FT4. These cables are also UL or ETL Listed Riser per OFNR (flame test) and tray rated under IEEE 383.
