Prysmian’s Indoor Microduct MFC is the ideal cable for blown and jetted applications in data centers, co-locations, and central office facilities where a small diameter, highly flexible cable is needed for optimal blowing and jetting distances in microducts. Prysmian offers up to 24 x 250 micron color coated fibers in a 3 mm cable design as well as 12 x 250 micron color coated fibers in 1.4 mm subunits with up to 48 fibers per cable. 3 mm cables and 1.4 mm subunits may be directly terminated to MPO style connectors.
Applications: Routing and patching for indoor communication network locations. Blowing and jetting applications into microducts.
Constructions: 250μm color coded fibers, 12 or 24 fiber groups
Flame Ratings: Plenum (OFNP / FT6)
Fiber Count: 8 to 48
Fiber Types: Single-mode and multimode
Standards: ANSI / ICEA S-83-596, Telcordia GR-409 CE RoHS compliant
Registered Supplier: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, TL 9000 and OHSAS 18001
Features and Benefits:Blowing and Jetting Applications:
• 3.0 to 3.8 mm cables with up to 24 fibers have demonstrated the capability of being blown/jetted into a 6 mm ID plenum microduct with distances over 2000 feet at speeds averaging 230 ft/min.
• 4.5 mm cables with up to 12 fibers have demonstrated the capability of being blown/jetted into an 8 mm ID plenum microduct with distances over 1800 feet at speeds averaging 200 ft/min.
• 5.1 to 5.7 mm cables with up to 48 fibers have demonstrated the capability of being blown/jetted into a 10 mm ID plenum microduct with distances over 1800 feet at speeds averaging 200 ft/min.
Flexible Routing Termination:
• Very flexible with no preferential bend
• Subunits can be directly terminated to MPO connections
• Compatible with routing in trays, racks and under raised floors in network communication centers
• Enables installation around tight corners and in confined spaces
• Fully compatible with commercially available multi-fiber connectors, such as MPO
Flame-Retardant Safety:
• NFPA-262/CSA FT6 OFNP Plenum
Reliable Performance:
• Available option for incorporating bend-insensitive single-mode or multimode fibers to address the most challenging placement conditions
• Rugged thermoplastic jacket for crush resistance
• Designed tested to standards-based performance criteria
