Fiber Optic Test & Splicing Equipment
Fiber optic test and splicing equipment is used at every stage of network construction and maintenance---from fusion splicing in the field to OTDR testing during commissioning. Galloway stocks fusion splicers, cleavers, test equipment, and tool kits from Fujikura and other leading manufacturers at regional locations across the US.
Loose Tube - OSP Backbone, Feeder & Distribution
Color-coded loose buffer tubes
Protect individual fibers from mechanical and environmental stress; stranded designs carry 6 to 24 tubes, central-tube designs a single tube
Single-mode OS2 (G.652.D) standard, G.657.A1 for tighter bend routing;
OFS AllWave ZWP fiber gives zero water peak across the full wavelength spectrum
Gel-free DryBlock construction (OFS)
Reduces splice prep time by up to 80% vs. gel-filled designs
Jacket and construction options span single jacket (SJ) through double-armored (DA)
Corrugated steel tape armor for direct-burial without conduit or in rodent-prone areas; OFS Fortex DT Light Armor is gel-free and mass-fusion-ready
All-dielectric ADSS variant for aerial self-support
No messenger wire, no grounding on energized power lines; aramid strength members support spans to ~1,500 m depending on loading; OFS PowerGuide DT double-jacket eliminates all gels
Fiber counts from 12 to 864
Standard reel lengths 1 km and 2 km; multimode OM3/OM4 available for campus and data center interconnect
