MicroTechnology

MicroTechnology is a term given to smaller conduits and fiber used in Inside and Outside Plant Construction (ISP and OSP). MicroDucts were developed as a solution to house fiber cables that were smaller in size, but still carried significant capacity. Today, MicroCables range from 6 to 432-fiber counts. The glass fibers are the same type as those used in traditional fiber cables, only the cable design has been altered to reduce the diameter of the cable sheath and support system. MicroDucts bundled under one sheath are called FuturePath and provide multiple ducts in one structure for future expansion of networks.

Dura-Line manufactures standard High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) conduits for standard installation applications such as standard underground, as innerducts in existing conduits, or corrugated products to use in congested areas. HDPE is a flexible and resilient material. It provides superior resistance to natural or mechanical damage, and has excellent low temperature properties to handle cold weather.

Dura-Line's Dura-Line's MicroTechnology calculators are designed to provide information on compatible fiber optic cable and MicroDuct products. This calculator assumes a maximum fill percentage of the existing conduit of 55% (sum of cross sectional area of inner duct(s) and cable(s) over the cross sectional area of the ID of the existing conduit). The optimal fill percentage is just one of many variables which should be considered when planning a cable installation. This information should be used indicatively and Dura-Line assumes no liability for damages resulting from the use of these calculations in actual deployments. For more detailed analysis and support before, during, and after your installation to ensure you are choosing the optimal product for your needs, please contact a Dura-Line specialist.
