Air Blown Micro Cable

Micro Air Blow Cable Uni-tube GCYFXTY

Name: Micro Air Blow Cable Uni-tube GCYFXTY
Availability: InStock

The GCYFXTY micro air-blown cable represents the cutting edge of fiber deployment technology — designed specifically for installation into microducts using compressed air blowing. Its ultra-lightweight uni-tube construction features a grooved low-friction outer sheath that enables installation distances of 1000–2000+ meters in a single blow. This technology dramatically reduces the civil engineering costs of traditional trenching, making it the preferred choice for 5G fronthaul/backhaul, FTTH distribution, and smart city fiber networks where minimizing street disruption is critical.

The Center Tube Micro Air Blown Fiber Optic Cable is a specialized type of fiber optic cable designed for air-blown fiber installation systems. It features a central tube construction and is specifically engineered for microfiber cables. This type of cable is commonly used in indoor and outdoor applications, where flexibility and ease of installation are essential. Optical fibres are housed in a loose tube that is made of high-modulus plastic and filled with tube filling compound. Aramid yarns are placed outside the loose tube as the strength member, then a sheath with grooves is extruded. This type of cable is particularly applicable to air-blowing constructions in access networks.Its number of cores includes: 12 24 36 48 96 144 192 288 cores, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does air-blown cable installation work?

Microducts are pre-installed underground (via trenching, directional drilling, or micro-trenching). The microcable is then propelled through the duct using high-speed compressed air, floating on an air cushion that minimizes friction. A single blowing operation can cover 1000–2000+ meters depending on duct route complexity.

2. What are the advantages of air-blown cable over traditional cable pulling?

Air-blown installation eliminates the mechanical stress of pulling, allows much longer single-installation distances, and enables future cable upgrades by simply blowing out the old cable and blowing in a new one through the same duct — without re-excavation. This 'future-proofing' dramatically reduces total cost of ownership.

3. What microduct sizes are compatible with GCYFXTY?

GCYFXTY cables are available for standard microduct sizes including 7/3.5mm, 10/6mm, 12/8mm, and 16/12mm (OD/ID). Cable diameters are optimized to achieve the ideal fill ratio (typically 60–70%) for maximum blowing distance while allowing future cable removal.

4. Can existing fiber cables be upgraded using air-blown technology?

Yes — this is one of the key benefits. If microducts are already in place, old cables can be blown out and new higher-fiber-count or newer-generation cables blown in, all without digging up streets or sidewalks. This makes microduct networks highly future-proof.
