Emtelle, one of the world’s providers of blown fiber, cabling, and ducted solutions, is proud to announce the launch of REVOLink3, a revolutionary 3-in-One drop cable designed to revolutionize last-mile connectivity. 

This unique 3-in-One drop cable solution integrates advanced features to significantly streamline the installation process, making it accessible and straightforward for a broader range of operators.

Innovative Design and Versatility

Emtelle’s REVOLink3 cable is engineered from the ground up to push distances never seen before in the telecommunications industry. REVOLink3 achieves remarkable distances up to 300 meters (984 ft) ideal for drop cable installations for Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) applications.

Furthermore, to enable these distances to be pushed, Emtelle has designed a complementary pushing machine branded DropDrive™ which enables these 300-meter (984 ft) distances to be achieved. This innovation is particularly beneficial in emerging markets, where the costs and complexities of traditional blown fiber equipment and training may be restrictive.

It has been meticulously designed for optimal stiffness, features a unique ‘textured’ low-friction sheath

Furthermore, for those who have existing blowing equipment, the REVOLink3 is compatible with most existing blowing machines, enabling it to be deployed over distances up to 1000 meters (3280 ft). Additionally, the cable can be manually pulled for up to 300 meters (984 ft).

The REVOLink3 combines durability and flexibility, enhancing the installation process significantly. It has been meticulously designed for optimal stiffness, features a unique ‘textured’ low-friction sheath, and includes a fiber lubrication system that consistently coats the cable during installation via the DropDrive™.

configuration and installation

Available in configurations of 2, 4, or 6 fibers, with plans to develop options for higher fiber counts, the REVOLink3 is set to revolutionize how operators connect customers, simplifying and streamlining the process like never before and broadening accessibility. The integration of the DropDrive™, which operates with just a simple battery-powered hand drill, further simplifies installations by eliminating the need for bulky traditional equipment.

Additionally, the DropDrive™ enables cable installations into Microducts to now become available to the masses, no matter where you are, you can now get a cable installation system to meet the efficiencies witnessed when using similar blown fiber systems.

Plug-and-Play Convenience with QWKREVOLink3

This ready-to-use solution simplifies the installation process, allowing for immediate deployment

Emtelle’s REVOLink3 drop cable is also available in a pre-connectors version, the QWKREVOLink3, which comes pre-assembled and thoroughly tested.

This ready-to-use solution simplifies the installation process, allowing for immediate deployment without the need for complex splicing, thereby significantly reducing both time and costs.

Key Benefits for the Industry

  • Flexibility in Application: Exceeding traditional cables in blowing, pulling, and pushing, the REVOLink3 offers unparalleled adaptability to diverse operational needs.
  • Reduction in Skill Requirements: The REVOLink3 deskills the installation process, making it feasible for a wider range of installers to execute deployments efficiently.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: By reducing the equipment and skill required for installation, Emtelle’s solution markedly lowers the overall cost of connecting subscribers.

Innovation

The introduction of the REVOLink3 is viewed as a major leap forward in telecommunications infrastructure technology.

By extending the pushing distances to unprecedented lengths and simplifying the entire installation process, we are setting new standards that we believe will become the benchmark for the industry,” said Colin Kirkpatrick, Solutions Director.
