EPFU Enhanced Performance Fibre Units Air Blown Fiber

Enhanced Performance Fibre Units (EPFU) – Air Blown Fiber Optic Cable

The Enhanced Performance Fibre Units (EPFU) air blown optical fiber cable is offered by Spring Optical; it's specially made for use with "next-generation" FTTX and FTTH installations where the need is for compact cable designs, long distances for air-blowing, and rapid installation (indoors or outdoors). Built with low-friction microgroove construction, the EPFU cable enables superior air pressure blow performance, providing excellent fibre protection and allowing for easy handling.

1. What is an EPFU (Enhanced Performance Fibre Units)– Air Blown Fiber Optic Cable?

2. Key Features of the EPFU (Enhanced Performance Fibre Units)– Air Blown Fiber Optic Cable

· Utilizes multiple fibre options with 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 core configurations.

· Utilizes G.657A2 Bend-Insensitive Fibres. This fibre provides exceptional bending performance in indoor routing and compact routing environments.

· Design for resilience in extreme temperature ranges.

· Mechanical stability over time and with repeative instillation and reinstillation.

· Enhanced micro-groove design has proprietary groove sizes and shapes to allow greater blowing distances compared to current designs.

· The lightest weight and most properly designed stiffness to facilitate rapid, repeated micro-duct installations with handheld blowers.

· With no gel, you can strip and remove gel without a hassle and have an easy time preparing for installation in the field and using.

· With compatibility of micro-duct accessories with Spring Optical's micro-ducts and connectors, you can make deployment simpler.

3. Performance Comparison of Air-Blown Micro Cable Types

Not only can you compare how these different types of micro-cables perform in FTTX networks, but it also helps you choose the most appropriate solution.

3.1 EPFU Enhanced Performance Fibre Unit (Air Blown Fiber Unit)

Characteristics Include: ultra-small diameter, light weight and bending performance (good for indoor FTTH), etc.

Blowing performance rating: ★★★☆☆

Cross Reference Use for: Indoor FTTH last-mile section

3.2 Uni-Tube Air-Blown Micro Cable (GCYFXTY)

Characteristics Include: Compact design with crush resistance and high levels of tensile strength. Also works well for outdoor micro-duct installations.

Blowing performance rating: ★★★★☆

Cross Reference Use for: Power systems, areas at risk for lightning strikes.

3.3 Stranded Loose Tube Air-Blown Micro Cable (GCYFY)

Characteristics Include: Highest Fiber Count. Maximize Duct Utilization. Cheaper to initially deploy.

Blowing performance rating: ★★★★★

Cross Reference Use for: FTTH distribution networks, metro networks and access networks.

4. Blowing Performance Characteristics

Fibercount: 2, 4, 6, 8, 12

Recommended Duct Length: 5/3.5 mm

Typical Blowing Distance:
– 500m/1000m (2–8 fibers)
– 500m/800m (12 fibers)
