Utilities

Whether your utility is building an FTTx optical fiber network to install smart meters, a fiber-enabled grid to identify outages and reroute power, or an expanded network to provide triple play services of voice, video and data to community subscribers, Sumitomo Electric Lightwave provides the most reliable and cost effective means with which to deploy fiber and offers  revolutionary Lynx2 connectivity for fast repairs and restoration…plus much  more.

As the pioneer in FTTH, FTTx, and passive optical network (PON) technologies in Asia and throughout the world, Sumitomo Electric Industries, our parent company, passes its expertise on to us… giving us a competitive advantage that we pass right along to you. 

Delivering Advanced Optical Fiber and Optical Cable Solutions Wherever and Whenever Needed — To Achieve Your Requirements and Vision for an Advanced Utility Network

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave provides the products and solutions for optimum bandwidth, transmission speed, signal quality, and the latest in connectivity solutions to achieve the maximum performance, reliability, and cost efficiencies demanded by today’s utilities.

As the first to have pioneered bend-insensitive fiber and to have introduced bend-insensitive FTTx drop cables for the tight bends and often challenging installations of  FTTx deployments, Sumitomo offers its cables with the PureAccess® fiber type ― the number one best selling bend-insensitive fiber worldwide with over 6 million km deployed.

The same quality and outstanding transmission properties characterize our PureMetro fiber type if your utility network expands into serving the municipality.  All Sumitomo optical fibers bear outstanding transmission and signal properties, manufactured with the renowned Vapor Phase Axial Deposition (VAD) process.

Breakthrough Innovation in Customized On-Site Cable Builds and Terminations Yield Faster Installations, Faster Repairs & Restorations  — without the Risk of Shorts & Slack and Logistic Delays of Preterminated Cables

High performance connectivity has never been more important for the reliability of the utility network.  In the face of staggering network downtime costs, optimum reliability, readiness, and the ability to repair and restore the network quickly and efficiently are central issues for today’s mission critical utilities.  

As the first company to have introduced the industry’s largest portfolio of field installable splice-on connectors, Sumitomo Electric Lightwave has led the way in customized, on-site connectivity.

Customized on-site terminations and cable builds with EXACT lengths contribute not only to better performance, reliability, and quicker installations, but also solve prior bottle necks for mission critical quick repairs and restorations — essential for the most minimal downtime of the utility network.
