šCase Snapshot: Boosting Project Efficiency with SM+MM Composite Fiber Cable
Client Use Case:
A university campus network upgrade required both single-mode (for long-haul backbone) and multimode (for high-speed local distribution) fiber installations across multiple buildings.
Challenge:
Traditional installs demanded running two separate cablesādoubling labor, conduit space, and complexity.
Project managers sought a smarter, faster, and code-compliant solution that could handle both modes in diverse environments (indoor risers, outdoor ducts, and plenum-rated pathways).
Solution:
They chose the Point 2 Point SM+MM Combo Cable (12F G657A2 + 12F OM4) ā a 24-strand composite armored cable in a single, yellow plenum-rated jacket.
Benefits Realized:
⢠ā
50% Faster Installation: One pull instead of two cut install time in half.
⢠ā
Reduced Conduit Use: Slim 6.8mm OD fit tight pathways with ease.
⢠ā
Flexible Deployment: Indoor/outdoor, armored, and plenum-ratedāno need to swap cable types.
⢠ā
Cost Savings: Lower labor costs, fewer materials, and simplified design documentation.
⢠ā
Future-Proofing: Both SM & MM options available for any use case on day oneāno retrofits needed.
Bottom Line:
With the SM+MM dual-mode cable, the university met its performance goals and beat its deadline. One cable. Zero compromises.
Stop pulling two cables. Start installing smarter.
