R&M launches new splice closure

Wetzikon ZH, November 2023

Reichle & De-Massari (R&M) is launching a new splice closure on the market. The SYNO S-500 is designed for the expansion of hybrid infrastructures for fibre optics. Cabling of single fiber and ribbon fibre is possible at the same time.

R&M has expanded its range with a high-density type of SYNO splice sleeve. The new SYNO S-500 splice closure has twice the splicing capacity of the standard types, writes the globally active specialist for data and communication networks from the Zurich Oberland in a statement. The splice closure, which is designed for the expansion of hybrid fibre optic infrastructures, can be used to cable single fibres and ribbon fibres simultaneously.

The SYNO S-500 is equipped with eight entries for standard round cables, ribbon cables and microproducts. “Single fibre splices, ribbon fibre splices and splitters can be placed next to each other on the splice carriers,” R&M explains. Due to the resealable gel seal of the sleeve, the cabling can be retrofitted or changed at any time.

According to the manufacturer, the SYNO S-500 can be used for overhead and underground cabling, and especially in regions where the infrastructures for fibre optic lines to the house are to be expanded quickly and prepared for future applications. As an additional service, R&M offers “customer-specific pre-assembly”.
