Sommer Optical Fibres
Octopus (simplex)
Who would have thought... that the colorful fibre-optic bundles from the seventies would someday also be able to transmit digital audio signals? Contrary to the common cheap fibres, those with approx. .4 dB/m already reaching a critical range starting at 19 ft, the OCTOPUS is a high quality cable with a damping value of less than .16 dB per meter, thus offering safe transmission properties even for longer lengths.
With a bending radius of only .669 inch the OCTOPUS can be installed even in small spaces. The optimum wavelength is 660 nm.
For suitable tools and Toslink-plug connectors for easy do-it-yourself installation, see Chapter ÒPLUG CONNECORSÒ. description para2
THE ADVANTAGES:
- Low damping values < .16 dB/m for optimum transmission across longer distances
- Small bending cycle of .669 inch
THE APPLICATION:
- High quality connection for transmission of digital signals
- Connection of audio components with optical digital output

Octopus - G (PE)
WARP 1,... or better said, you will be able to reach the simple speed of light with our OCTOPUS-G LWL cable. With this cable you can transmit your audio-digital signals across distances of up to 2200 yards (at 100 mbit/s). The fibres have a core diameter of either 9/125 µm or 50/125 µm and are housed in a robust PE- (installation) or PUR-jacket (mobile) with die-electric protection (rodent protection). The OCTOPUS-G in PE is ideal for outdoor and ground installation, the PUR-version is windable, flame-retardant in compliance with IEC332-1, and suitable for mobile applications.
We also deliver the OCTOPUS-G premade with STII-, SC-, or LC-connectors - for detailed information, see section "Premade Cables". Here you can find premade LWL-patch cables. Splice boxes are available in Section "Equipment + Accessories"
THE ADVANTAGES:
- Optimum signal transmission over long distances
- Compact, light, robust, and free of metal
- Die-electrical glass fiber protection (rodent protection)
- Longitudal water tightness in compliance with IED 60794-1-F5 (PE version)
- Suitable for 10 GBit -service
- Windable, thus suitable for indoor and outdoor transmission over long transmission distances (PUR-version)
THE APPLICATION:
- High quality, fast connection for the transmission of digital signals
- Powerful data-network installation in complex buildings (e.g. from office buildings to air port terminals)
- Indoor and outdoor transmission over long distances
