The Only Fiber Optic Cable You Will Ever Need!

Micro Armor Fiber™

TiniFiber® Wins Consecutive “Govies” Government Security Platinum Level Awards in 2015 & 2016 at the ISC West Security Show in the Fiber Optics Category.

Award Winning Fiber Optic Cable

What is Micro Armor Fiber™?

• Micro Armor Fiber is a revolutionary U.S. Patented award winning new product.

• It Incorporates a tightly wrapped stainless steel coil around the fiber jacket.

• It is designed to provide the lightest, strongest and most flexible solution on the market today.

• TiniFiber can be utilized wherever conventional indoor and outdoor fiber optic cables are used.

Nov 10, 2015 TiniFiber® by CertiCable was awarded the U.S. Patent for the Armored Flexible Fiber Optic Cable - 11/11/2015

Farmingdale, NY – Certicable Inc., the parent company to TiniFiber® has announcedtoday that the U.S. Patent office has awarded U.S. Patent No. 9,182,562 B2 for thestainless steel micro armor fiber developed to protect the fragile fiber glass withinthe cable jacket.

“Our Micro Armor Fiber™ stainless steel concept was conceived back in 2011 and weare pleased that the U.S. Patent Office recognizes the invention as ground breakingand will change the armored fiber optic industry,” stated Christian A. Peterson III,Chief Executive Officer for TiniFiber’s product line. Peterson continues, “We’refocused on providing best-in-class armored fiber optic solutions to meet the needsof large enterprises, IT, communications, telco, CATV, Pro AV, CEDIA, security andgovernment agencies that are seeking a quality fiber optic cable for both indoor andoutdoor usage.”

Barry Skolnick, co-inventor and Chief Operating Officer, states “The TiniFiber’srevolutionary development of Micro Armor Fiber™ addresses both the armor andnon-armor cable markets in a single solution.” Roman Krawczyk, co-inventor andChief Engineer further elaborates that, “This is accomplished by the proprietary“Micro Armor Machinery” designed to tightly wind the stainless steel tubular coilaround the fiber strands. This in turn provides the smallest Outer Diameter (OD) ofany armored fiber cable on the market.”

The solution offers considerable advantages over the conventional AluminumInterlocking Armor (AIA) widely used today. TiniFiber® Micro Armor Fiber™ cabledoes not increase the size of the outer diameter of the basic fiber optic cable.

U.S. Patent and Press Release

Micro Armor Fiber™ is approximately 65% smaller and75% lighter than (AIA) Aluminum Interlocking Armor.

Micro Armor Fiber™ vs. AIA

Aluminum Interlocking Armor (AIA)

Aluminum Interlocking Armored (AIA) cablesare standard fiber optic cables inside aspirally wrapped interlocking armor forenhanced crush resistance and ruggedness.

AIA cable is bulky and has been known tocrush the fiber when the aluminum casing iscompromised. It is difficult to work with,expensive to ship, requires additional crewlabor, and is limited in its applications due toits size and lack of flexibility.

NFL Superbowl Outdoor Fiber

Every year, the Super Bowl outdoor events attract hundreds of thousands ofpedestrian and vehicle traffic. The NFL needed a truly reliable crush-proof, flexible,high quality cable with the smallest OD fiber armor.

They turned to TiniFiber for the solution.

During the 2014 New York City events in Times Square on “Super Bowl Blvd” therewere thousands of vehicles and heavy foot traffic running over the Micro Armor cableswithout incident. The NFL again utilized TiniFiber for the 2015 Santa Ana Super Bowl(Feb 2016) events and will being using I again for the 2017 Event.

Winthrop Hospital Research Building

“Winthrop Hospital has undergone an expansion of our Research Building that uses high-

tech training for future technologies in the hospital.”

“A high end, secured fiber optic network backbone had to be implemented. We found that

TiniFiber Micro Armor Fiber optic cable was the perfect solution. The highly flexible, small

OD size saved space in both the pathways and the racks and made for a smooth installation

and within budget. The stainless steel armor provided the extra strength and security over

regular fiber cables. Plenum rated and the best Corning glass made it a no brainer.”

Smart Choice Press Release

Smart Choice Communications Works with TiniFiber® to Provide Superior Voice and Data Services to Clients

Micro Armor Fiber™ Provides Increased Flexibility While Significantly Decreasing Time and Costs for Cabling Projects

Smart Choice Communications is an end-to-end telecommunications consulting and management company that provides a fullrange of innovative infrastructure design, voice and data solutions, and cabling and wiring services to its growing client roster. Thecompany is currently undergoing rapid expansion into the healthcare and retail industries, and Chief Technology Officer BasilStepanov is always on the lookout for new products and services to better serve the demanding technology needs of thiscustomer segment.

Stepanov first encountered TiniFiber while working on an extensive wiring job for a large television producer. “For this project,speed was of the essence,” remarked Stepanov. “When the client is constantly pushing large files under tight deadlines, it’s ourjob to make sure everything runs smoothly and with no hiccups. TiniFiber helps us do just that.”

Since that first installation over a year ago, Smart Choice has continually scoped out TiniFiber for a wide variety of projects and isworking towards making Micro Armor Fiber the new standard for all cabling jobs going forward. “Micro Armor Fiber is tougherthan other fiber without a doubt,” says Stepanov. “It provides maximum flexibility and gives us much more versatility, allowing usto work in large buildings and get around bends without worrying about cracking or breaking.”

During some fiber-optic installations there is a need to provide extra protection for the cable due to the installation environment.That environment may be underground or in buildings with congested pathways. Installing an armored fiber-optic cable in thesescenarios provides extra protection for the optical fiber and added reliability for the network, lessening the risk of downtime andcable damage due to rodents, construction work, weight of other cables and other factors.

“We’ve done a lot of installs in large stadiums and schools, and inevitably the client always requests changes a year or more later,”says Stepanov. “When you’re using standard fiber and moving it at an angle, it could potentially break and cost the client tens ofthousands of dollars. Bottom line: when fiber breaks in a 100-story building it’s a huge, expensive disaster.”

Working with TiniFiber has helped Smart Choice save their clients significant time and financial resources. Measuring 65% lighterin weight and 75% smaller in size than popular Aluminum Interlocking Armor (AIA) fiber optic cables, Micro Armor Fibertranslates into more versatility, lower shipping and installation costs, and decreased manpower hours to complete projects.

“When scoping out new technology, the most important thing we look for is how it canhelp our clients,” Stepanov added. “With TiniFiber, it was a no-brainer.”
