Amphenol Fiber Systems International ARES Deployable Fiber Optic Reels

Amphenol Fiber Systems International (AFSI) ARES Deployable Fiber Optic Reels are made with a chemical and impact-resistant polymer providing a rust-resistant, lightweight, durable reel for storage solutions and deploying fiber optic cable assemblies. The ARES reels can be stacked for storage/transit and feature separate payout/storage areas allowing the user to deploy cable as needed rather than paying out the entire stored length. The ARES Deployable Fiber Optic Reels come in various sizes to support multiple cable lengths and types. In addition, cleaning kits can be specified to support all popular harsh environment connectors, including but not limited to AFSI’s TFOCA, TFOCA-II®, TFOCA-III®, TACBeam®, M28876, and Pierside.
