The MiDia200 Micro HX Cable was specifically designed to meet the ever-increasing demand for higher fiber capacity in today’s congested, underground urban optical networks. This latest-generation cabling solution can help take metro networks to the next level with increased fiber density, enhanced performance and significantly greater cost-saving opportunities on deployment.
The MiDia200 Micro HX Cable capitalizes on Lightera advancements in optical fiber, leading to the development of 200 micron (µm) bend-optimized fibers which meet or exceed ITU and IEC standards (see Performance Standard for details). These 200 µm fibers require 36 percent less area than conventional 250 µm coated fibers, enabling reduced diameter cables. This achievement propelled the creation of a microcable that offers greater fiber density while also providing outstanding macrobend and microbend performance with tight, low bending loss.
