The reduced diameter MiDia Micro FX Cable can help to dramatically lower the cost of fiber optic deployment while maximizing capacity in congested networks. Specifically designed for air-blown installation using microduct systems, the MiDia Micro FX Cable is size-optimized for fiber counts up to 144. While the rifled outer jacket and optimized buffer tubes support long, continuous blowing distances, this cable also offers crush resistance that is similar to larger, heavier outside plant cables (200 N/cm). DryBlock® water-blocking material provides exceptional water penetration resistance and faster cable preparation.

The MiDia Micro FX Cable’s small outer diameter and high fiber density help to maximize capacity in heavily congested duct systems where space is at a premium (such as city networks). The lightweight, flexible cable design can also help to save time and money with fast and easy air-blown installation using microducts, saving time and money by eliminating the need for expensive, disruptive excavation along with procuring costly rights-of-way.
The MiDia Micro FX Cable also helps service providers to reduce their initial network building investment by deploying fiber only as needed to meet demand. This capability can help providers in the future to consistently maintain the highest performance fibers in their networks, while avoiding the cost of constructing new ducts.
