RAPID OPTICAL FIBER LINK RESTORATION SOLUTION
The present invention relates to a rapid optical fiber link restoration solution rapidly deployed by pulling, blowing, jetting or hanging in an aerial, on-ground, underground or inside a duct includes an optical fiber connector and an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber connector is connected at both ends of the optical fiber cable. Particularly, the optical fiber cable is dielectric and has a tensile strength 2500 N and a crush resistance of 2000 N/100 mm. Moreover, the optical fiber connector has water resistance for 1.5 meters of water-head for a maximum period of 30 minutes.
Radiating closures
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing telecommunications signal relays, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing telecommunications signal relays using radiating closures (either aerial, below grade, and/or buried, etc.), or the like. In various embodiments, a signal distribution system, which might be disposed within a radiating closure, might receive a first communications signal. A wireless transceiver of the signal distribution system might send the first communications signal, via one or more wireless communications channels, to one or more devices that are external to the radiating closure. In some embodiments, antennaswhich might comprise first antennas disposed within the radiating closure or second antennas embedded in a housing material of the radiating closure, or bothmight direct the first communications signal that is sent from the wireless transceiver to the one or more devices. In some cases, IoT sensors may be implemented in the radiating closure.

Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) methods and systems
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing FTTx, which might include Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH), Fiber-to-the-Building (FTTB), Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP), and/or the like. In some embodiments, a method might include routing an F1 line(s) from a central office or DSLAM to a fiber distribution hub (FDH) located within a block or neighborhood of customer premises, via at least an apical conduit source slot. From the FDH, an F2 line(s) might be routed, via any combination of apical conduit main slot(s), cross slot(s), far-side slot(s), missile bore(s), bore hole(s), and/or conduit(s) (collectively, Apical Conduit Components), to a network access point (NAP) servicing one or more customer premises. An F3 line(s) might be distributed, at the NAP and from the F2 line(s), to a network interface device (NID) or optical network terminal (ONT) at each customer premises, via any combination of the Apical Conduit Components, which include channels in at least portions of roadways.

From the FDH, an F2 line(s) might be routed, via any combination of various apical conduit components, to a network access point (NAP) servicing one or more customer premises. An F3 line(s) might be distributed, at the NAP and from the F2 line(s), to a network interface device (NID) or optical network terminal (ONT) at each customer premises, via any combination of the apical conduit components, which include channels in at least portions of roadways. In some embodiments, at least one wireless access point is disposed in each of one or more channels.
Rollable ribbon separator
A rollable ribbon separator tool for separating fibers in a rollable ribbon, the rollable ribbon separator including a chassis having a length and a guide surface along the chassis length for receiving a first portion of a rollable ribbon in a flattened position, the guide surface for positioning the first portion of the rollable ribbon having a first node with selected fibers to be separated, the selected fibers being positioned flat on the guide surface. The rollable ribbon separator includes a blade securable to the chassis, the blade having a cutting edge positioned toward the guide surface at an acute angle to the guide surface. The angle of the blade cutting edge with respect to the guide surface allows the cutting edge to urge the first portion of the flattened ribbon fibers against the guide surface when the fibers are drawn through the chassis along the guide surface.
