Air Blown Fiber Cable FAQs – The Ultimate Buying Guide
What is Air Blown Fiber Optic Cable?
Air blown fiber optic cable is a fiber cable that can be installed in tiny ducts without excavation by air-blown installation technology.
With the small size, light weight and high fiber loading density, the air blown fiber optic cable has good air blowing installation performance. It also has excellent temperature performance of withstanding different temperatures. Multiple cable structure designs can make sure the optical fiber inside is resistant to side pressure and flexing.
What’s The Air Blown Fiber Cable Looks Like?
In addition to its small size and light weight, air blown fiber cable also has many more features that make it an advanced solution for FTTx network.
- Low friction coefficient sheath design and materials assures long air blowing distance
- All non metallic structure, so there is no requirements for grounding
- Easy to bend, laying and operate with small diameter, light weight
- Make full use of pipelines resources, fast construction of air blowing laying method
- Save costs for splicing joint and distribution management
How Can Air Blown Fiber Has Great Performance?
The performance of air blown fiber comes from its cable design, materials quality, production quality, and the laying techniques.
Cable Design
Despite the fiber optic cables are laying in protective ducts, a perfect fiber cable design should consider different conditions in its actual site, such as durability, installation, applications in the network and other site conditions.
Quality
The raw materials and production all affect the final quality and performance of a micro blown fiber optic cable. So a trustworthy brand or manufacturer is very important.
They will solve you all the problem of materials comparison with reliable quality inspection and experienced and advanced production technology.
Laying Techniques
In order to have the air blown fiber optic cable in perfect condition and performance, following are the basic requirement for the air blowing construction.
- The static bending radius of the micro cable should not be less than 10 times the outer diameter of the micro cable. The dynamic bending radius during construction should be less than 20 times the outer diameter of the micro cable.
- Before blowing the micro cable, the cable should be test to get the tensile load of the air blwoning fiber.
- In any case, equipment thrust should not exceed the tensile load of the micro cable during the entire blowing process.
- Micro cable should be released from the top of the cable tray, and maintained a relaxed arc, there shouldn’t be any small circle.
- Air cooler and water separator should be added after the air compressor to ensure that the gas blow into the pipeline is low temperature and dry.
- Checking if the air blown micro cable after the deployment is in good condition. Both micro-cable end should be sealed with moisture-proof treatment without any water.
What are the Applications of Air Blown Fiber Optic Cable?
Air blown micro fiber optic cable is generally used in FTTH network as a feeder section, using air blowing laying to connect the optical branch point and user access point. It is also suitable for application in access networks, backbone networks and metro network.
It can also be installed in the pipeline of existing fiber optic cable to save pipeline resources and meet the demand of real-time network expansion.
What are the Advantages of Air Blown Micro Fiber Optic Cable?
Compared with the traditional laying of fiber optic cable, air blown micro cable is a high-tech fiber optic cable and has outstanding advantages.
Space Utilization
Air blown fiber cable can minimize the size of fiber optic cables, conduits and other supporting products as much as possible. Therefore, it improve the utilization rate of the pipe and fiber placement density, and maximize the use of pipe space and saving costs.
Economic Efficiency
The construction cost of air blown micro fiber cable is lower than the common fiber optic cables, which can effectively reduce the pipeline costs and achieve a clear management interface.
By reducing construction costs and improving economic efficiency, the micro blowing fiber cable is the best technical means of a shared construction.
Network Flexibility
Air blwon fiber optic cable can be used throughout the FTTx network. It can be installed in the feeder section with one-time deployment and then branched out in the introduction section according to customers’ requirements.
This kind of construction eliminates the traditional fiber optic cable fusion splicing and other complex work, greatly improves the flexibility of the network.
What are the Types of Fiber Optic Cable?
According different aspect of fiber optic cable, there are many types of fiber optic cables.
Optical Fiber
Due to different transmission mode of an optical fiber, there are single mode fiber optic cable and multimode fiber optic cable.
Cable Core
How the fiber optic cable is structured is also an important specification of a fiber cable. There are tight buffer fiber cable, loose tube fiber cable, uni-tube fiber cable (or central loose tube), MLT (multi loose tube) fiber cable.
Installation Mode
Different application of a fiber optic cable has different requirements on the cable installation and laying. For instance, there are overhead/aerial fiber optic cable, duct fiber optic cable, direct burial fiber optic cable and underwater fiber optic cable.
Application
Where a fiber optic cable is used affect its specifications too. At a larger scale, we can divide them into the outdoor fiber optic cable type and indoor fiber optic cable type.
Armored Type
For different application and specs to meet, the fiber optic cable armoring also varies. From light armored aluminum tape fiber optic cable, corrugated steel tape armored fiber optic cable, steel wire armored fiber optic cable, and heavy armored fiber optic cable with both steel tape and steel wires.
Besides all mentioned above, some industries and network system has specific type of fiber optic cable, such as mining fiber optic cable, FTTH fiber cable, power line fiber optic cable and so on.
What are the Materials for Air Blown Fiber Optic Cable?
This enhanced performance fiber unit air blown fiber has 2-12 core of optical fibers in the middle of resin materials for UV curing. And outside extruding a special low friction jacket. Sometimes reinforcing elements of aramid yarns are also placed outside the loose sleeve as required.
For construction with more requirement of optical fibers and application, there are also air blown fiber with more protective structure such as central tube and stranded tube with central strength member.
