Intelligent Infrastructure Advancements
Outside plant cabling infrastructure has many associated costs that can make or break a project budget. Installation time is a key factor in not only cost but also meeting critical timelines. Time is money. Getting your fiber, and even composite cabling, from point A to point B can be more time-consuming than you might realize. There is a more efficient method that can reduce installation time, preserve duct space, and provide an efficient means to moves, adds, and changes in the outside plant. Air blown cable installation is a relatively new installation method in the US but is used as a proven installation solution in many parts of the world. This session will highlight the basics of outside plant installation using duct and air assistance. Whether you are considering air blown fiber solution for all or part of your next installation or just want to become familiar with the technology for future consideration, this session will address unknowns that you may have.
