General Cable’s Blown Optical Fiber (BOF) System technology provides flexibility in network design, while anticipating and facilitating future changes as the network evolves. Providing significant and measurable time, cost and service benefits to the network throughout its life cycle, Blown Optical Fiber accommodates Moves, Adds and Changes (MACs) easily and quickly with minimal disruption. Can be safely installed in any environment with Compressed Air instead of Nitrogen.
The Blolite® Individual Blown Optical Fiber System, offered as 2 thru 12 fibers per Microduct, is best suited for Broadcast premise applications with shorter distances that may contain tight bends and turns. This system employs a series of single or multiple empty
Microduct between cable routing points; compressed air is then used to blow the optical fiber into the Microducts, which eliminates potential damage to fibers during installation. Designers have maximum flexibility regarding the number and type of fibers per Microduct. Color-coded fibers are typically supplied on master spools and cut to length during the blowing process.
The NextGen® Brand Bundled Blown Optical Fiber System, offered as 1 thru 3 bundles of 6 fibers per Microduct solution, is ideal in applications that contain longer, straighter paths. Bundles are comprised of six color-coded optical fibers encapsulated in an extruded blowable jacket. Additionally, bundles can be “uninstalled” and repurposed elsewhere in your network.
