MiDia® Micro GX Loose Tube Cable
The reduced diameter MiDia Micro GX Cable can help to dramatically lower the cost of fiber optic deployment while maximizing fiber density in congested networks. Size optimized for fiber counts up to 288, this cable was specifically developed for air-blown installation using microduct systems. The cable outer jacket and optimized 1.4 mm buffer tubes are designed to maximize deployment performance. DryBlock water-blocking material provides exceptional water penetration resistance and faster cable preparation.

Product Description
The reduced diameter MiDia Micro GX Cable can help to dramatically lower the cost of fiber optic deployment while maximizing fiber density in congested networks. Size optimized for fiber counts up to 288, this cable was specifically developed for air-blown installation using microduct systems. The cable outer jacket and optimized 1.4 mm buffer tubes are designed to maximize deployment performance. DryBlock water-blocking material provides exceptional water penetration resistance and faster cable preparation.
Why the Midia Micro GX Cable?
The MiDia Micro GX 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). This lightweight, flexible cable design can also help to save time and money by eliminating the need for expensive and disruptive excavation along with procuring costly rights-of-way.
The MiDia Micro GX Cable also helps service providers to reduce their initial network building investment by deploying fiber only as needed to meet demand. This capability can also provide the flexibility needed for future technology upgrades.
