Air-blown fiber® and microduct cable have a few things in common, but they are not the same. In this episode of Fiber Focus, Yuko Agano, Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s product manager supporting air-blown fiber, breaks down the differences between these products. In contrast to the conventional method of pulling cable through conduits, both air-blown fiber and microduct cable are blown through conduits using air pressure. Another similarity is that both of these air-blown technologies speed deployment, minimize downtime, and optimize conduit space. The key differences between these technologies are the products themselves, the pathways and blowing equipment they use, and the maximum fiber count and distance that they can be deployed. Ultimately these differences factor in to the decision of which air-blown technology is right for the customer’s next project.
