The MiDia® Micro GX Loose Tube Cable with 72 fibers Maximize the Capacity and Cost-Effectiveness of Metropolitan Fiber Access
The 72FO (6X12) Air Blown Microduct Loose tube Fiber Optic Cable OS2 G.657.A1 Dielectric Unarmoured Black (Part number: AT-3CE453T-072) from OFS with 72FO and Dielectric Unarmoured construction . Air blown microduct fiber cable is optimised for injection into microducts and is used in optical networks, more specifically for use in Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and Fiber-to-the-Desk (FTTD) networks. This technique that is lower at cost, quicker and more environmentally friendly than traditional deployment, allowing a simpler instalation with less resources.
The MiDia Micro FX Cable’s small outer diameter and high fiber density help to maximize capacity in heavily congested duct systems where space is at a premium (such as city networks). The lightweight, flexible cable design can also help to save time and money with fast and easy air-blown installation using microducts, saving time and money by eliminating the need for expensive, disruptive excavation along with procuring costly rights-of-way. The MiDia Micro FX Cable also helps service providers to reduce their initial network building investment by deploying fiber only as needed to meet demand. This capability can help providers in the future to consistently maintain the highest performance fibers in their networks, while avoiding the cost of constructing new ducts.
Each type of single-mode fiber has its own area of application, and the evolution of these optical fiber specifications reflects the evolution of transmission system technology from the earliest installation of single-mode optical fiber to the present day. Choose the right fiber is very important for each project/installation. The OS2 G.657 standard single-mode fibers were developed to allow a better bending radius regarding the G.652 standard. For the OS2 G.657 fiber there are 4 subcategories: G.657.A1, G.657.A2, G.657.B2, G.657.B3. The G.657.A1 fiber type is characterized by 10 mm minimum bending radius. These specifications of the G.657 fibers allow to have a better cost-efficiency due to compact cable designs and reduced space requirements.
While using a loose tube construction in cables, you can:
The loose tube construction solution can be chosen for the following applications:
Dielectric unarmoured is a type of fiber optic cable protection that provides electrical isolation without the added mechanical protection of an armor layer. This type of protection is achieved by using dielectric materials such as aramid yarns or glass fibers to provide strength to the cable. Dielectric unarmoured FOC is typically used in indoor installations, where the cable is not exposed to the same level of mechanical stress and environmental factors as outdoor installations. It is also used in applications where weight and flexibility are a concern, such as in aerospace or automotive industries.
