Daetwyler Cables has
extended its Fibre-to-the-Home
(FTTH) portfolio to include
special fibre-optic cables with
a large number of fibres which
are extremely thin and fit in
even the narrowest microducts.
Employing the new “S-Micro”
cables for connections in the
local or “drop” loop, public
utility companies and energy
suppliers are able to utilise the
existing pipe infrastructure,
particularly from the vertical
duct to the building basement
to connect up more homes
and to reduce the trench work.
Daetwyler Cables developed
the “S-Micro” Optofil outdoor
cables in collaboration with
the electricity and public
utility companies of Zurich
(ewz), Sankt Gallen (sgsw) and
Berne (ewb).
The first models have 48 and
96 monomode fibres (E9/125)
in stranded loose tubes, each
with up to 12 fibres. Both
models are available with
bend-optimised G.657. A
fibres, and the 96-fibre cable
is also available with standard
G.652.D fibre.
The metal-free S-Micro cables
have an external diameter
of just 4.2 or 6.2mm. This
means that the 48-fibre
version can easily be blown
into microduct systems with
external diameters of 7mm
upwards (with 0.75mm
wall). The 96-fibre S-Micro is
suitable for microducts from
10 or 12mm (depending on
cable sheath thickness). Initial
blowing experiments have
shown that the compact
S-Micro cables can cover
distances of up to 500 metres.
Previously, it was only possible
to blow a 24-fibre Micro cable
into a microduct with 7 or
10mm external diameter.
The new Optofil S-Micro
has doubled the maximum
number of fibres available
to these ducts. Compared
with its predecessor at least,
the 96-fibre S-Micro makes
it possible to use narrower
microducts (10-12 instead
of 14mm) and therefore to
connect more buildings.
The installation benefits and
safety features of this FTTH
outdoor cable are the same:
every S-Micro has a ripcord
andaneasy-to-lay, installation-
friendly cable structure.
These cables are halogen-free
and do not generate corrosive
gases in the event of a fire.
