Optical cable for microtubing networks – Extralink, 24-fiber version
The Extralink micro cable is an ideal choice for building high-speed, reliable optical networks in microtubing systems. Thanks to the 24 fibers and G.652D standard single-mode fibers, it is perfectly suitable for FTTx, backbone, and urban optical infrastructures where high data transmission capacity and stable signal transmission are fundamental requirements.
Optimized design for microtubing installation
The only 5.4 mm outer diameter allows the cable to be easily pulled or blown into tight microtubes. The compact size reduces friction and installation resistance, enabling greater pulling distances and faster installation even in complex cable routes.
- Thin, lightweight construction for microtubing applications
- Easy and quick blowing into modern microtubing systems
- Low installation costs and shorter construction time
24 fibers, 2x12 fiber group – transparent structure
The internal structure is divided into two 12-fiber units, making it easier to identify, install, and maintain the fibers. This is especially important for networks where multiple services or multiple tenants' fibers run in the same cable.
- A total of 24 optical fibers for greater network capacity
- 2x12 fiber grouping for easier management
- Color-coded fibers for quick identification
G.652D single-mode fiber – reliable data transmission
The built-in G.652D type fibers are the most common in modern, high-bandwidth optical networks. They are characterized by low loss and excellent signal quality, ensuring that the cable provides stable, high-speed data transmission over the long term.
- Single-mode fibers for long-range connections
- Low loss over a wide wavelength range
- Suitable for WDM systems, internet, IPTV, and VoIP services
Excellent choice for FTTx and backbone solutions
The cable is particularly suitable for building optical subscriber networks (FTTH, FTTB, FTTx) and for use in urban and regional backbone networks. The high fiber capacity allows multiple services, multiple operators, or redundant links to be transmitted in a single physical cable.
- FTTx systems – optical distribution networks, subscriber sections
- Metropolitan (MAN) networks – urban optical rings
- Corporate and industrial backbone networks – connecting data centers, sites
Technical advantages and durability
The micro cable sheath is resistant to typical environmental effects, making it suitable for outdoor installations, such as connections between buildings or in underground microtubes. The design minimizes bending losses while providing adequate mechanical protection for the fibers.
- Compact yet durable sheath
- Good flexibility, low bending loss
- Optimal protection against loads encountered in microtubing environments
Applications
This optical micro cable can be widely used in both provider and corporate environments where high bandwidth, low latency, and future-proof infrastructure are important.
- Optical networks of internet service providers
- Smart city projects, camera systems, and IoT infrastructure
- Industrial facilities, industrial automation networks
- Educational institutions and campus networks
- Connections between data centers
Why is it worth choosing this micro cable?
The Extralink solution offers an optical cable that meets both modern network construction requirements and practical implementation needs. The high fiber capacity, G.652D quality optical fibers, microtubing installation optimized diameter, and durable construction make it an excellent choice for building new optical networks or expanding existing systems.
- Cost-effective, future-proof network investment
- Easy installation in microtubes, fast execution
- Reliable, stable operation at high bandwidth
