Air Blown Fiber Cable ABC

Air-blown fiber cable utilize air to propel micro optical fiber cables through pre-existing microducts. This method, also referred to as jetting fiber, provides an effective means of installing fiber optic cables and supports the future growth of fiber optic networks. Air-blown micro cables primarily come in two types: central tube and loose tube layer stranded.

Overview:

The Air Blown Fiber Cable “ABC” is ultra-lightweight with and small diameter and designed for metro feeder or access network to be blown into a micro duct by air-blown installation. As the cable allows the deployment of currently required fiber count, the micro cable provides a lower initial investment and the flexibility to install and upgrade to the latest fiber technologies after the initial installation. The outer PE layer provides a high level of protection and excellent installation properties and perfect blowing performance.

Air Blown Fiber Cable (ABC) are a modern, flexible alternative to traditional fiber optic cabling, designed for quick installation, easy upgrades, and minimal disruption in expanding networks. They use compressed air to blow lightweight fiber units into pre-installed microducts, making them highly adaptable for telecom, enterprise, and smart city infrastructures.

Application:

The Air Blown Fiber Cable “ABC” bundles for FTTx systems are dedicated for the outdoor network infrastructure. The small diameter is suitable to be used in projects requiring large number of slots and the fiber number between 12~288 core optical fiber cable which can be routed into micro-ducts.
