press release

Fujikura Ltd. (President and CEO: Masahiko Ito) is pleased to announce that Fujikura's "Thin-diameter, high-density slotless optical Optcal Fiber cable" and Fujikura Dia Cable's "Foam-insulated leaky coaxial cable" have been adopted as exhibits at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Kanto Regional Development Bureau's "Construction Technology Exhibition Hall," which reopened on December 2. Both products are NETIS* registered products and will be on display at the exhibition hall for the next two years.

The Construction Technology Exhibition Hall exhibits the latest construction technologies and initiatives through panels, videos, models, etc., and is an experiential facility where a wide range of people, from the general public to students and engineers, can "see," "touch," and "learn" whenever they need to. In renewing the exhibit content this time, the exhibited technologies were selected based on the themes of "New technologies that realize Society 5.0," "Technologies for disaster prevention, mitigation, national resilience, and infrastructure longevity," and "Technologies that realize X-Tech," which contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, and two Fujikura Group products were selected as technological products that embody these themes.

Fujikura Ltd. "Thin-diameter, high-density slotless optical Optcal Fiber cable"

The thin, high-density slotless Optcal Fiber cable is an Optcal Fiber cable that achieves a significant reduction in diameter and weight by adopting a slotless cable structure (WTC®) with a new ribbon fiber (SWR®).
The thinner diameter and lighter weight make laying and extension easier, the smaller allowable bending radius improves workability, the reduced weight and wind load reduces the load on the common poles in overhead installations, and existing pipelines can be used more effectively in pipeline installations. As a product that supports the rapid increase in data traffic worldwide, it is widely used in data center and high-speed communication network infrastructure development.

Fujikura Ltd. "Foam-insulated leaky coaxial cable"

Leaky coaxial cable (LCX) is a cable-type antenna used for FM rebroadcasting, mobile wireless communication in tunnels, etc. in radio dead zones in enclosed spaces such as tunnels, underground shopping malls, and underground parking lots.
The "foamed insulated LCX" to be exhibited is a product that uses highly foamed polyethylene for the insulator, and a thinner, corrugated copper tube for the inner copper tube to improve its weight and flexibility, and by changing the slot shape and pitch of the outer conductor, the applicable frequency band is made wider than before, and the connector used for cable connection and the installation method have been improved to simplify the installation work.
