MiDia® Microduct Cables

To implement or upgrade a modern metropolitan optical network, especially through urban areas, service providers can face challenges such as space limitations to excavation disruption to upgradability. To help make these intricate networks simpler and less costly, Lightera developed the MiDia Microcable product line.

An ideal solution for congested metro networks, the MiDia Microcables can help dramatically lower the cost of fiber optic deployment while increasing and enhancing capacity and fiber density in limited spaces. Whether your application involves overriding cables installed in existing ducts, deployment into unused inner ducts or greenfield “grow-as-you go” deployments, the MiDia Microcables are an excellent solution.

By reducing or eliminating the need for expensive and disruptive excavation along with procuring costly rights-of-way, the MiDia Microcables offer a more cost-effective solution that requires fewer deployment resources. With the ability to deploy fiber only as needed, these microcables can help to defer initial investment costs while also allowing the flexibility to add newer fiber types or technologies as they become available. Finally, the MiDia Microcables offer the exceptional performance and reliability you’ve come to expect from Lightera.

MiDia Micro EX, FX and GX Cables

To construct these microduct, the optical fibers are placed in space-efficient, water-blocked buffer tubes to protect the fibers from external forces. The optical fibers and buffer tubes are both color-coded for ready identification. The buffer tubes are then stranded around a dielectric central member using the reverse oscillating lay (ROL) stranding technique that allows fast and easy, mid-span fiber access. Dry, “water-swellable” waterblocking material is then applied to the cable core to provide exceptional water penetration resistance and faster cable preparation. In the final step, a ripcord and a durable polyethylene (PE) jacket are added to complete the cable construction.
