Fiber Optics Cables / Air Blown Fiber ABF

Air Blown MicroCables

Overview

Connect Fiber’s MicroCable Technology is an all-dielectric loose tube cable designed for microduct applications and features industry-leading fiber density. The innovative technology improves cable handling and reduces the installation time while lowering risk of cable and fiber damage. The MicroCable design reduces the cable diameter by up to 50 percent (versus traditional loose tube cables) which improves fiber density for duct applications and also enables new applications which can reduce total install cost. This MicroCable also combines industry-leading attenuation and improved macrobend performance in one fiber. These MicroCables are ITU-T recommended G.652.D compliant suitable for air blown cable in micro-duct installation.

Features & Benefits

  • ITU-T G.652.D rated fiber with improved attenuation and bend performance as well as compatibility with standard single-mode.
  • Small cable OD enables higher density and lower deployment cost.
  • Innovative cable design that reduces cable installation time and lowers the risk of inadvertent fiber damage.
  • Capable of installation distances greater than 2000 m (6560 ft) at speeds up to 150 m/min (490 ft/min).
  • Meets the Telcordia GR-20 and RDUP/RUS requirements.
