| Microduct extrusion line for FTTx deployment
By Editor (17 Jun 11 7:00) in Technical News |
| Deployment of fiber optic cable over the last mile towards the subscriber’s location (i.e. FTTx) has become quite familiar in today’s world of high-speed Internet connections and triple play offerings, which packages together television, Internet and voice services. By pre-installing microducts and then jetting fiber to destination when needed, operators rely on an effective method to bring fiber to the desired location. As a result, the need for microducts and microduct bundles has generated increased interest around Maillefer’s extrusion line models PUL 032 and PUL 063.
