Production of SubCom’s high fiber count (HFC) cable is underway. SubCom is believed to be the first to market with the long haul system implementation of its space division multiplexing technology (SDM) and HFC architecture. The company has added a new high fiber count loose tube line in a Class 100,000 cleanroom, to ensure the highest standards in cleanliness during fiber handling and loose tube production processes. The loose tube line can handle up to 48 fiber spools, allowing for a 24FP cable, and can run at over 175m per minute. The line provides improved processing controls and higher capacity. SubCom has also invested in 3D laser weld alignment sensors and a new weld box with seamtracking to provideamoreautonomous and stable seam welding process for copper and steel. “SubCom is committed to providing the highest quality products and services to meet the evolving needs of the subsea cable industry,” said David Coughlan, CEO.
