TechLogix Networx, a Wisconsin-based provider of audio-visual, security and datacom connectivity and a brand of NSI Industries, has launched outside plant (OSP) fiber cables.
The company says the new product offering simplifies outdoor fiber-optic cable runs with a single cable rated for direct burial, fiber-to-the-home/fiber-to-the-business drops and aerial scenarios. OSPFiber is billed as a cost-effective, easy-to-integrate solution for outdoor inside-plant, broadband and network applications.
