Corning® MiniXtend® HD cables are high-density micro cables that are up to 60 percent smaller and up to 70 percent lighter than standard loose tube cables and up to 20 percent smaller than standard micro cables. MiniXtend HD cables have and SZ-stranded loose tube construction and provide high fiber counts in limited duct space in long-haul, metro and access networks.

With a dual-layer tube design and a low-friction PE sheath, MiniXtend HD cables are optimized for blowing into microducts. Both the buffer tubes and the fibers contained within are color-coded for quick and easy identification.

MiniXtend HD cables feature Corning® SMF-28® Ultra 200 single-mode fiber (ITU-T G.652.D and ITU-T G.657.A1): the industry's first 200 micron fiber with a 9.2 micron Mode-Field Diameter (MFD).

Features And Benefits:
• Reduced outer cable diameter - High fiber density in microduct systems
• Compact and light - CapEx-optimized installations & upgrades
• Optimized cable stiffness - Long installation lengths
• Fully-dielectric - No grounding required
• Color-coded tubes & fibers - Easy identification of tubes & fibers
• SMF-28® Ultra 200 fiber - ITU-T G.652.D and G.657.A1-compliant 200 micron single-mode fiber with a 9.2 micron MFD, low loss and enhanced bend performance
