Is your network constantly undergoing modifications to accommodate technology changes, growth or reorganizations? Are moves, adds and changes an everyday occurrence for you? If so, air blown fiber could be a perfect network infrastructure solution that will enable you to maximize your fiber capacity and have the network flexibility you require while at the same time minimizing costs.

Air blown fiber is designed to meet the requirements of nearly every cabling application; plenum, riser, traditional cable and outside plant. Typical applications include:

• LANs
• WANs
• CCTV/Security
• Traditional Voice and VoIP

Unlike traditional cabling systems, an air blown fiber solution provides "fiber on demand" which in turn enables IT and communications departments to easily control and increase network capacity on demand, to eliminate the need for long-term capacity forecasting, and to avoid installing cabling that no longer meets network requirements and becomes obsolete. Air blown fiber uses compact tube cables in place of traditional innerduct and provides empty tube cables that can be used at any time to increase fiber capacity when required. When additional fiber is required, it can be added quickly and easily using a cable blowing head. Additionally, existing fiber configurations located in the tubes can be easily removed and new configurations can be added at moment's notice; thereby making upgrades fast and inexpensive.
