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

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 announced
today that the U.S. Patent office has awarded U.S. Patent No. 9,182,562 B2 for the
stainless steel micro armor fiber developed to protect the fragile fiber glass within
the cable jacket.
“Our Micro Armor Fiber™ stainless steel concept was conceived back in 2011 and we
are pleased that the U.S. Patent Office recognizes the invention as ground breaking
and will change the armored fiber optic industry,” stated Christian A. Peterson III,
Chief Executive Officer for TiniFiber’s product line. Peterson continues, “We’re
focused on providing best-in-class armored fiber optic solutions to meet the needs
of large enterprises, IT, communications, telco, CATV, Pro AV, CEDIA, security and
government agencies that are seeking a quality fiber optic cable for both indoor and
outdoor usage.”
Barry Skolnick, co-inventor and Chief Operating Officer, states “The TiniFiber’s
revolutionary development of Micro Armor Fiber™ addresses both the armor and
non-armor cable markets in a single solution.” Roman Krawczyk, co-inventor and
Chief Engineer further elaborates that, “This is accomplished by the proprietary
“Micro Armor Machinery” designed to tightly wind the stainless steel tubular coil
around the fiber strands. This in turn provides the smallest Outer Diameter (OD) of
any armored fiber cable on the market.”
The solution offers considerable advantages over the conventional Aluminum
Interlocking Armor (AIA) widely used today. TiniFiber® Micro Armor Fiber™ cable
does not increase the size of the outer diameter of the basic fiber optic cable.

Micro Armor Fiber™ vs. AIA

Aluminum Interlocking Armor (AIA)
Aluminum Interlocking Armored (AIA) cables
are standard fiber optic cables inside a
spirally wrapped interlocking armor for
enhanced crush resistance and ruggedness.
AIA cable is bulky and has been known to
crush the fiber when the aluminum casing is
compromised. It is difficult to work with,
expensive to ship, requires additional crew
labor, and is limited in its applications due to
its size and lack of flexibility.

Micro Armor Fiber Stainless Steel
TiniFiber Micro Armor Fiber optic cable is
a stainless steel coiled tubular armored
solution that is designed as the smallest
and lightest cable with enhanced crush
resistance and ruggedness.
It is available in riser and plenum
constructions. Micro Armor Fiber can be
used for all general usage, patch and
inside/outside plant applications in place
of a conduit.

10 Reasons Why Fiber Optic Versus Copper Cable
Fiber optic cables are the most popular mediums for both new cabling
installations and upgrades including: backbone, horizontal, and even
desktop/home applications. Fiber offers a number of advantages over copper.
1. Less Power: Fiber optic cabling uses less power and provides less signal degradation than copper cables.
2. Greater Bandwidth: Fiber provides more bandwidth than copper and has standardized performance up to
100 Gbps and beyond.
3. Speed & Distance:. Fiber distances depend on the style of cable, wavelength and network. Distances can
range from 550 meters (984.2 ft.) for 10-Gbps multimode and up to 40 kilometers (24.8 mi.) for single-
mode fiber cable.
4. Security: Your data is safe with fiber cable. It doesn’t radiate signals and is extremely difficult to tap.
5. Centralize: Fiber networks also enable you to put all your electronics and hardware in one central location,
instead of having wiring closets with equipment throughout the building.
6. Reliability: Fiber provides extremely reliable data transmission. It’s completely immune to many
environmental factors that affect copper cable.
7. Design: Fiber is lightweight, thin, and more durable when armored, than copper cable.
8. Migration: The proliferation and lower costs of media converters are making copper to fiber migration
much easier
9. Field Termination: Auto-aligning pins ensure accuracy for field termination. The use of pig-tails and pre-
terminated cable make field connections quick and easy.
10. Cost: Fiber typically costs less to maintain, has less downtime, and requires less networking hardware.

NFL Superbowl Outdoor Fiber
Every year, the Super Bowl outdoor events attract hundreds of thousands of
pedestrian 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” there
were thousands of vehicles and heavy foot traffic running over the Micro Armor cables
without 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 full
range of innovative infrastructure design, voice and data solutions, and cabling and wiring services to its growing client roster. The
company is currently undergoing rapid expansion into the healthcare and retail industries, and Chief Technology Officer Basil
Stepanov is always on the lookout for new products and services to better serve the demanding technology needs of this
customer 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 our
job 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 is
working towards making Micro Armor Fiber the new standard for all cabling jobs going forward. “Micro Armor Fiber is tougher
than other fiber without a doubt,” says Stepanov. “It provides maximum flexibility and gives us much more versatility, allowing us
to 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 these
scenarios provides extra protection for the optical fiber and added reliability for the network, lessening the risk of downtime and
cable 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 of
thousands 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% lighter
in weight and 75% smaller in size than popular Aluminum Interlocking Armor (AIA) fiber optic cables, Micro Armor Fiber
translates 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 can
help our clients,” Stepanov added. “With TiniFiber, it was a no-brainer.”
