Small diameter fiber optic cable conduit with micro-air blowing

Product Introduction

This method involves first installing a set of small-diameter tubes (microducts, 3 to 12 mm) inside a larger main conduit. A specialized blower then installs a lightweight microcable into one of these empty microducts using compressed air. The main advantage is that a single main conduit can house multiple microducts, allowing for the sequential or future installation of multiple cables. This is the standard method for FTTx (fiber to the home/building) networks, facilitating network expansion and upgrades.

Features

1. Cable type: Small, lightweight, flexible microduct cables with fewer fibers.

2. Duct system: Uses a bundle of small diameter tubes (microducts, e.g., 10/8 mm or 7/5.5 mm) housed within a larger main duct.

3. Installation distance: Generally used for shorter distances (usually up to 1 km, often less).

4. Main advantage: Allows multiple cable deployments in a single main conduit, facilitating future network expansion (overload) without the need for new construction.

5. Typical use case: FTTx (Fiber to the Home/Building/Cuerda) networks, last mile connectivity and dense urban areas.

Application scenario

FTTH / FTTB (Fiber to the Home/Building): The main method for deploying fiber in neighborhoods and individual residences.

Last mile connectivity: The final segment of the network connection from a distribution point to the end customer.

Dense urban areas: Efficient use of the limited existing duct space by installing multiple micro-ducts for greater durability.

Network expansion and upgrades: Easy addition of new cables to pre-installed microduct assemblies without the need for new construction.
