Hexatronic is excited to announce the launch of Viper Ease, an upgrade to our popular Viper Micro Cable. This new generation of micro cables brings unique features never seen before at this scale, enabling a low total cost of ownership (TCO) and superior performance.
Viper Ease will be available in versions ranging from 12 to 288 fibers and will be on display for the first time during the FTTH Conference in Amsterdam March 26-27. Find out all you need to know about our new release, Viper Ease, in this article.
Time and cost savings
Tests conducted in our lab and by independent installers show that Viper Ease can reduce installation time for cable preparation by 50-70%. This significant reduction in preparation time translates to 50-70% lower costs for this installation step. Simplified, the project gets done faster and will be less hustle along the way.
Key features and benefits
- Tangle-free binder yarns: These yarns melt into the sheath, eliminating the need for time-consuming untangling and cutting.
- Dry tubes: Water-blocking is achieved with swellable yarns, meaning no cleaning or solvents are needed.
- No harmful petroleum-based gel: Viper Ease uses gel-free technology, avoiding the use of harmful petroleum-based gels in the cable.
Project focus: Easy handling for the end user
Hexatronic's commitment to user-centric design is evident in Viper Ease. The project aimed to make the cable easy to handle for end users, with fiber technicians being the primary focus. By prioritizing their needs, Viper Ease ensures faster and lower installation costs, further reducing the TCO. Hexatronic employed an ethnographical design approach, observing and engaging with users to map their journey and identify pain points. This involved interviewing 50 fiber technicians to gather insights and ensure the product meets their real-world needs.
Hexatronic's launch of Viper Ease marks a significant advancement in micro cable technology. With its unique features, retained performance, and focus on making fiber technicians' work more enjoyable and efficient, Viper Ease is set to reduce installation time and costs.
