FutureFLEX® Air-Blown Fiber
FutureFLEX® Air-Blown Fiber

from Sumitomo Electric Lightwave
Why FutureFLEX?
With the onslaught of bandwidth-rich services and technologies, uncertain
network growth and the demands of doing more with decreasing budgets, Power & Tel is an authorized
IT and network managers require a flexible infrastructure that responds distributor of Sumitomo
immediately to growing bandwidth requirements and the demands of FutureFLEX air-blown fiber.
quick project turnaround in real-time. They've found their solution with
FutureFLEX air-blown fiber.
Conventional cabling infrastructures force IT and facilities managers to

make uncertain and costly long-term decisions about what kind of fiber and
how much to install for the next five to six years, paralyzing the network
by limiting change, consigning today’s capital for tomorrow’s unforeseen
projects and risking potential network obsolescence.
FutureFLEX empowers network infrastructures with a continuously

renewable life cycle. It has become the preferred LAN infrastructure for
many of the world’s foremost enterprise networks, including: The Pentagon,
CNN, ESPN, Johns Hopkins University, Vancouver International Airport,
MGM Grand, Getty Center and many more.
Ultimate Flexibillity
How It Works At the heart of the FutureFLEX system is an
infrastructure of compact tube cable used in
Unlike conventional network infrastructures, FutureFLEX’s point-to-point place of traditional innerduct. In almost all

matter of minutes or hours for fast and easy network upgrades, expansions
and reconfigurations, without the investment in dark fiber.
FutureFLEX’s point-to-point architecture is revolutionizing the enterprise infrastructure

by developing a ready-for-anything LAN that provides:
• Bandwidth-on-demand
• Immediate network scalability
• Fast and easy network upgrades, expansions and reconfigurations in minutes or hours versus the weeks or
months associated with conventional infrastructures
• No disruption to daily operations or the workplace through the elimination of construction work and crews
• Quick implementation of bandwidth-rich emerging technologies
• Immediate control of nearly unlimited network capacity
• Clean and environmentally friendly installation of fiber, eliminating the need for infectious disease and other
health-related regulatory processes
• Easy demarcation for classification of network pathways
• Pay-as-you-go budget decisions, one project at a time
• Project costs that are typically 1/10 of that associated with a conventional infrastructure, thereby yielding
continuous return on investment
