 New Polywater® FTTx |
APC proudly introduces a new product for the Telcom Market. New Polywater® FTTx Fiber Drop Lubricant is a highly concentrated liquid that can be sprayed or wiped onto cable or conduit. Only a thin film is required for immediate tension reduction that lasts even as the lubricant dries. FTTx Lubricant is formulated specifically for the FTTx environment. It's quick and easy to use without mess or excess lubricant.

New Polywater® FTTX is not your father's pulling lube. It works with a very thin, molecular-level film that continues to lubricate even when it cannot be detected. This is nanotechnology applied to cable lubrication. If you want to call it NanoLube, go ahead. Why make an FTTx lube? Because construction is booming as communication companies roll out fiber to the curb, premise, and home in their Last Mile initiatives. Installing short runs of small cable into small conduit is deceptively easy sounding. The reality is quite different. Run lengths and cost objectives rule out traditional cable blowing and pulling equipment set-ups. Friction reduction becomes paramount. But standard pulling lubricants are too thick for adequate distribution in small diameter conduit, and are often incompatible with newer jacket materials. Property-owner concerns make fast, first-time, every-time cable installation a must. The industry needs a specialty lubricant with modern application methods specifically tailored to the FTTx environment. |
 The Joke |
Joke of the Week: More George Carlin Rules: 1) The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the creep. If you go to Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet," you're a huge creep. 2) I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount, deciding, no, I don't want cash back, and pressing "Enter" again, the kid who's supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy. 3) Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual. It's right above your butt crack and it translates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you were spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual; you're just high. 4) Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven deadly sins. ESPN televised the US Open of Competitive Eating because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait, they're already doing that. It's called "The Howard Stern Show." 5) I don't need a bigger mega M&M. If I'm extra hungry for M&Ms, I'll go nuts and eat two. 6) If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy, old TV shows, you'll have to give everyone a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. The reason something was a TV show in the first place is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie. 7) No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting. |
