Microcable SolutionsGuide

Implementing or upgrading modern Fibre-To-The-Subscriber (FTTX) or underground networks can be complex and challenging. To help make deployment faster and less costly, especially in locations where space is at a premium, OFS developed the MiDia® and AccuRibbon® DuctSaver® Microcable families. These microcables are specifically optimized for air-blown applications.

An ideal solution for congested networks, OFS microcables are avail-able in a range of designs to meet the needs of virtually any air-blown installation. With a product line that includes ultra-high-density con-structions and the world’s first ribbon microcable, OFS offers a micro-cable suited for your most demanding application.

OFS microcables are an excellent solution whether your project involves overriding cables in existing ducts, installation into unused innerducts or greenfield “grow-as-you-go” deployments. Moreover, these cables offer the exceptional performance, reliability and value that you’ve come to expect from OFS. Ver. 1 - osp174-EMEA-0415

*Note: N/A denotes“not applicable.“

**Note: Minimum duct sizes apply to microduct that is blown into existing innerduct. For direct buried applications of bundled microducts, thick-walled products or the next larger-size microduct are recommended to account for deformation that may occur in the microduct in a direct buried environment. Contact OFS for additional information and recommendations.

Microduct RecommendationsSelecting the right microduct is critical to the success of any microcable deployment. The formulation and surface finish of the microduct’s low-friction layers are vitally important to achieving long, continuous blowing distances. In the same way, a microcable’s optimized outer diameter, weight, stiffness and low-friction jacket also play a critical role in installation performance. When the most appropriate microcable for an application is used with the right microduct, these critical features combine, in a synergistic way, to deliver smooth, air-blown deployment with maximum continuous blowing distances.

The tables below outline recommended microduct sizes based on application and microcable outer diameter. Consult with your OFS representative on selecting the right microduct for your application.

AllWave® Zero Water Peak (ZWP) Single-Mode FibreFor peak performance now and maximum future upgrade capa-bility, our patented, industry-first AllWave ZWP Single-Mode Fibre provides 50% more usable bandwidth, with low optical loss across the optical spectrum from 1260-1625 nm.

AllWave®+ and AllWave One ZWP Single-Mode FibresTo support tighter bends and longer reach in FTTX, metro-politan and backhaul networks, OFS specifically designed All-Wave+ Fibre. Our AllWave One ZWP Fibre focuses on these same applications, plus long haul networks, and is an excellent option where G.652.D fibre is specified and even greater bend-ing performance is desired.

AllWave® FLEX ZWP Fibre

In deployments that demand benchmark bending performance, our AllWave FLEX ZWP Fibre offers low macrobend and micro-bend loss, along with excellent splicing and PMD performance.

AllWave FLEX and FLEX+ 200 Micron ZWP FibresThe 200 micron (µm) AllWave FLEX and AllWave FLEX+ Bend-Optimized Single-Mode Fibres require 46% less area than conventional 250 µm coated fibres, allowing smaller diameter cables and a greater number of fibres per buffer tube. These fibres offer all the advantages of standard AllWave FLEX fibres along with outstanding macrobend and microbend performance wherever small bend diameters may be encountered.

Installation InformationBefore deploying any MiDia Microcable, please con-sult OFS Installation Practice IP-055 (March 2014).

The MiDia microcable family varies in tensile load ratings and diameters based on targeted design applications. Because of their reduced size and strength, MiDia Microcables do not comply with Tel-cordia GR-20 requirements, but do meet application and industry IEC performance standards. For this reason, extra care must be taken during the han-dling and installation of these cables.

MiDia Microcables are optimized for use in under-ground duct air-blown applications. In general, MiDia Microcables are not recommended for aerial applications since they are not designed to with-stand exposure to aerial storm loads.

The MiDia microcable family is not recommended for use in pedestal splicing applications. The combina-tion of small buffer tube diameters, narrow splice trays and potential exposure to extremely low tempera-tures may create fibre macrobending and increased attenuation in these applications.

During installation, it is critical to avoid loading the microcables beyond their maximum rated tensile loads (see Table 1). In addition, care must be taken to avoid bending the cables below their minimum bend diameters (see Table 2).

Microcables are optimized for air-blown installation applications and, as such, are less robust than traditional cables.

Microcables are NOT designed for aggressive handling scenarios including, as an example, shared and undersized hand-holes. In these situations, cables are often exposed to excessive crush forces and are routinely accessed and removed (with coiling and recoiling)
