Market developments Global competitiveness now depends on establishing and extending high-speed connectivity and the drive to lay fast cable networks is just taking off in many parts of the world. Given that we are so dependent on these networks, reliability is becoming increasingly important. With more data being transmitted over longer distances, more cables are required and smaller diameters are essential. Fiber-optic cables are the primary tool for both core and edge connections. At Teijin Aramid, we have over two decades of experience developing innovative aramid products that strengthen and protect such cables. As IP traffic grows, the demand for ever higher transmission speeds will continue to grow. With our high-performance aramid Twaron, the industry can move beyond peta and exabytes into zettabytes per second (1021). Key benefits when using Twaron • Easy installation • Long cable lifetimes • Makes long spans possible • Ensures reliable connecterization • Enables minimum cable diameters • Water-blocking available Making the zetta world possible

Applications Twaron offers distinct advantages in a wide range of applications, including: • ADSS cables • Premises cables • FTTX cables • Duct cables Partnership Our engineers have built up unique knowledge of the use of aramid in cable applications over the years. As a leading global supplier to the OFC market, we work closely with partners in the industry to arrive at the most cost-effective and reliable solutions. We’re committed to developing high-tech ways to reinforce optical fiber cables and will continue to optimize our products. For more information, please email us at [email protected]...
