Protection of Optical Cables on Hardened Road Surfaces

Home / Protection of Optical Cables on Hardened Road Surfaces

" Maintain accurate as-built drawings and GPS coordinates for all buried cable routes. The Corning Outdoor Pathway Tape is a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape designed to protect optical fibre cables along paved surfaces. The NTT Group is investigating further coverage expansion of optical-fiber networks for 5G (fifth-generation mobile communications network) base-station demand and popularization of Internet-of-things devices. NTT has thus developed an on-road surface-wiring optical-cable technology that does not. Fiber optic cables enable high-speed, long-distance data transfer, forming the backbone of modern communication.
