Unfortunately, if you are a small business owner you also cope with some challenges the big guys don't have, budgets are small and your IT staff, if you even have one, may not have storage-specific expertise.

Superior TeleCom Inc. (Quote) said its Superior Essex Communications Group is introducing a new ribbon fiber cable product line for outside plant applications. The company's entire ribbon fiber cable product line has been certified by Telcordia (formerly BellCore) to be in full compliance with all requirements of GR-20-Core specifications, officials said.
This new product family utilizes one or more 12-fiber "ribbons" that are specifically constructed for use with mass fusion splicing equipment, which offers substantial savings in installation costs. The high dimensional precision of the ribbonized fiber equates to low losses during mass fusion splicing, officials said.
The ribbon design has the additional benefit of delivering ultra- high fiber density in a small outside plant fiber cable, the company said.
Initially, Superior Essex said it is offering this product line in optical fiber counts of up to 144 in both dielectric and armored constructions.
Tim Waldner, senior vice president of marketing for Superior Essex Communications Group, said, "Many telcos are starting to use ribbonized fiber cable in place of loose tube designs for relatively small fiber count cables. The cost savings achieved through ribbon fiber splicing are too great to ignore."
In addition to GR-20 Core compliance, these ribbon fiber cable products also meet the optical, mechanical and environmental requirements of RUS specifications for ribbon fiber cables, officials added.
