New hybrid Superior Essex has announced a new OSP hybrid cable, optimized to support class 2 line powering of remote devices while supplying data over fiber optic cable. Targeted at next generation small cell deployments, and rural CAF-II projects that will be using DSLAMs and PON systems, the cables are designed for use in both brownfield and greenfield applications and make use of 25 pairs of 22 AWG twisted copper pairs and up to 192 optical fibers. “We are thrilled to introduce an innovative cable design that offers the capability to deliver power and fiber under one jacket, deep into the network,” says Robin Gainsford, director of broadband technology for Superior Essex. New USB 3.0 series L-comGlobal Connectivity, amanufacturer of wired and wireless connectivity products, has announced the release of a new series of USB 3.0 cable assemblies with low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jackets and ferrite beads. Ferrite beads prevent interference from, or to, a connected device, and help to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) from being radiated or received by a cable. In addition, the new USB 3.0 cables feature LSZH cable jackets and connector over- molds. LSZHcompound reduces theamount

of toxic and corrosive gases emitted during combustion, and will self-extinguish after catching fire. L-com offers two versions of these assemblies. One version features USB 3.0 type-A male to type-A male connectors and the other version features USB 3.0 type-A male to type-B male connectors. “These new USB cables, with ferrites and low-smoke jackets, offer multiple levels of protection while providing high-speed USB 3.0 performance. [The] assemblies are perfect for data storage, streaming video and data acquisition applications,” said Brian Gates, L-com product manager.
