Cleerline is expanding its fiber-optic portfolio with a solution that stands out for its strength, durability and flexibility.

The new BendSafe range from Cleerline Technology Group now includes both bulk cable and factory-terminated patch cords in standard and custom lengths.

BendSafe fiber has been engineered to outperform traditional fiber-optic cable by delivering greater strength, flexibility and reliability. It supports tighter bend radii and enhanced durability in demanding applications, harsh environments and high-density cable pathways.

BendSafe’s patented layered hard-acrylate construction increases optical fiber strength while maintaining physical characteristics similar to conventional bend-insensitive fiber, but with significant improvements in robustness, durability and flexibility.

Projects built with BendSafe deliver premium performance at a cost comparable to solutions based on traditional bend-insensitive fiber.

Integrators understand that, to meet current and future bandwidth demands, a fiber-optic infrastructure is the smartest choice and provides real value to customers. BendSafe is now a complete product family capable of delivering decades of reliable performance in projects of any size, while remaining easy to terminate using standard tools and connectivity systems, including both mechanical terminations and fusion splicing. Our factory-terminated patch cords and custom assemblies save time and help installers deliver reliable, long-lasting connectivity for any application, says Ryan Prentice, President of Cleerline.
