Excel Enbeam blown fibre system

The Excel Enbeam blown fibre system includes a range of microducts from single to multiway, in designs suitable for either internal or external applications. It is complemented with enhanced fibre performance units of 4 through to 12 fibre in both single and multimode.

The internal Enbeam microducts come in an ice blue jacket colour, while the external ducts have a black high-density polyethylene outer sheath, with aluminium foil inserted between the jacket and microducts to provide moisture protection. Each of the designs have internal longitudinal ribbing and a permanent lining of Silicore to reduce friction during cable placement.

The enhanced performance fibre units are designed specifically for blown fibre applications, and are optimised for installation within a range of blown fibre ducts. The fibres are contained within a soft acrylate layer, which cushions the fibres. This is coated with a hard layer for strength and finally a low-friction coating to ensure low drag and maximise blowing distances within the ducts. The acrylate coatings are easy to remove to expose the 250-micron primary-coated fibres for quick splicing. The fibres are colour-coded according to TIA-598-C. The fibre units are available in OM3, OM4 and OS2 compliant with G-652 and G.657.A1 bend insensitive specifications as standard.
