Fiber Bundles

Air-Blown Fiber^® Bundles are available in 2, 4, 6, 12, 18 and 24-fiber configurations and are comprised of either single-mode, 50 µm multimode, or 62.5 µm multimode fibers. Hybrid Fiber Bundles with a combination of multimode and single-mode fibers are also available. Fiber bundles are aerodynamically designed with a foamed polyethylene jacket to enable the fiber to blow easily through tube cable.

FutureFLEX Air-Blown Fiber uses the same type of glass as conventional fiber optic cables, and it complies with all premise networking media standards. It has been tested to meet TIA/EIA 568 and ICEA 596 and meets UL 1581 (OFN general purpose), UL 1666 (OFNR Riser), and UL910 (NFPA 262 Plenum) standards.

The FutureFLEX fiber optic bundle is typically 1/40th the size of comparable conventional fiber optic cable. With FutureFLEX Air-Blown Fiber, there is no pulling force during installation and little chance of damage to the fiber. This method eliminates the need for bulky strength elements, fillers or tensile strength members found in traditional fiber optic cable.
