Air-blown fiber systems, or jetting fiber, are highly efficient for installing fiber optic cables. Using compressed air to blow micro-optical fibers through pre-installed microducts allows for quick, accessible installation, even in hard-to-reach areas. It's ideal for networks that require frequent updates or expansions, as it enables duct installation without initially determining the exact fiber need, reducing the necessity for dark fibers. This approach also minimizes optical loss and enhances
system performance, offering a cost-effective and flexible solution for modern fiber optic networks.
Air blown fiber systems offer significant advantages over traditional fiber optic installations. They reduce tensile stress on fibers, leading to lower attenuation and enhanced system performance. These systems allow for the reuse of microducts, enabling easy future expansion or replacement of fibers. Benefits include cost savings, faster installation, fewer fiber splices, simplified maintenance, and the ability to adapt to future technological needs, making air blown fiber a more efficient and flexible option.
Air-blown micro optic fiber cables come in various types, each designed to meet specific needs and applications in fiber optic networks. Here are theprimary types:
