NASHVILLE , Tenn.  , June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fiber Connect 2022, Booth 205, OFS is pleased to announce the expansion of its popular rollable ribbon product portfolio with the release of the new PowerGuide® AccuTube+® RR ADSS cable solution.

With product availability up to 864 fibers, the PowerGuide® AccuTube+ RR ADSS cable is a totally dry, ribbon in loose tube cable construction offering twice the fiber density of comparable, standard flat ribbon cable designs. The PowerGuide® AccuTube+ RR is a totally gel-free double jacket ADSS design optimized for high density distribution networks and FTTH deployments utilizing self-support aerial cables or aerial to underground transition installations. With one of the highest fiber counts of any ADSS cable per cable area, the PowerGuide® AccuTube+ RR delivers increased carrying capacity and easy mass fusion splicing to meet the demands of today's high-growth, high-bandwidth networks.

The totally gel-free PowerGuide® AccuTube+ RR ribbon in loose tube construction offers the following benefits as an effect of removing gels from traditional ribbon ADSS designs:

Enables savings on installation time and labor costs. Field technicians can experience up to 80% time reduction for cable end prep when compared to gel-filled flat ribbon constructions.

Allows faster splicing with higher first pass yields due to cleaner work environment and mass fusion splicing ability.

Significantly lowers overall cable weight and diameter for easier handling and lower operation tensions on poles.

"In response to customer demand for expansion of the rollable ribbon technology in ADSS solutions, OFS is excited to include this product into our PowerGuide® solutions portfolio," said Brian Maxwell , Outside Plant Cable Product Manager.

OFS Rollable Ribbon cables feature a unique ribbon structure featuring 12 individual 250 micron fibers which are partially bonded at predetermined intervals to form a very flexible ribbon, allowing the ribbons to be rolled into very tight bundles, doubling the fiber density of a cable.  When accessed in the cable, these fibers behave much like a traditional flat ribbon that allows highly efficient mass fusion splicing using existing flat ribbon splice equipment and procedures. Individual fibers may also be accessed easily for single fiber splicing efforts.

The new PowerGuide® AccuTube+ RR products will be featured at Fiber Connect 2022 at the Gaylord Convention Center, Nashville, TN , June 12-15 , or contact your OFS representative for more information.

(Reuters) -A 650,000-barrel-cargo of Venezuela's oil chartered by Italy's Eni is about to set sail carrying the first export of crude from the U.S.-sanctioned country to Europe in two years, Refinitiv Eikon data showed on Friday. The U.S. State Department sent letters to Eni and Spain's Repsol in May authorizing them to resume taking Venezuelan crude as a way to settle billions of dollars of unpaid debt and dividends owed by the OPEC-member nation. A second tanker chartered by Eni, the very large crude carrier (VLCC) Pantanassa, is currently navigating towards Venezuela and expected to load 2 million barrels of the same grade, diluted crude oil (DCO), and take it to Europe, according to the Eikon data and a shipping document seen by Reuters.
