OCC SMPTE: THE SIGNAL OF RELIABILITY
Offering the durability you expect from OCC, the comprehensive new SMPTE family of products includes 7 cables to fit each unique application, enclosures, and assemblies, allowing you to source all your connection needs from one source.
RUGGED
Most of OCC’s SMPTE cables are made with the Ultra-Fox™ Plus deployable buffer system: triple thickness 500µm acrylate coating, together with a hard elastomer 900µm tight buffer offer maximum fiber protection.
LESS MIGRATION
OCC’s SMPTE cables use fabric fillers and nylon wrap instead of PVC, which minimizes cable migration and increases flexibility.
EASY INSTALLATION
Fibers and power groups in OCC’s SMPTE 3-IN-1 Stadium cable are uniquely identified by TIA color coding standards, making installation easier and less
LIGHTER
The Aramid yarn central strength member in SMPTE FLEX increases flexibility and decreases weight: a must when truck weight is a consideration.
Billions of fiber meters cabled.
EXPERTISE IN YOUR INDUSTRY
A History of Innovation
-
1970s
NOBEL BEGINNINGSOCC’s founding engineers worked with “The Father of Fiber Optics,” Charles Kao, who later accepted the Nobel Prize in Physics. The innovation in fiber optics was off and running.

1990s
HIGH PERFORMANCE COPPERThe acquisition of SMP in Asheville NC enabled OCC to innovate the patented Low Crosstalk Electrical Connector System and the Category 5 patent, thus allowing for the performance of Gigabit Ethernet, as well as telephonic systems and other data transmissions around the world.
-
2000s
CONNECTORS TO COUNT ONThe acquisition of AOS in Dallas ushered in a new era of OCC innovation. These included the design and development of specialty fiber optic connectors such as the MARS reel and the MARS ALRS for military and harsh environment applications.
