Abstract: A strand of optical fiber is inherently thin, flexible, and light weight. How can we leverage these properties to improve the fiber installation process and make it easier to adapt to changing facility needs? A new infrastructure / installation technology called “Air Blown Fiber Infrastructure” facilitates this approach. Using a point-to-point network of high density tubes as a highway, 3000 ft. of 24 strand-fiber can be jetted (installed) from source to destination across a facility in just 30 minutes. Once the tube network is in place, changes can be made at a fraction of the time and cost of conventional fiber networks, without disruption to the network or the facility. Technical Discussions include: What is an Air Blown Fiber System Conventional Fiber vs. Air Blown Fiber System ROI Comparisons Design Considerations (intra-building, campus) Tube Bundle Design Consideration and Limitations Fiber Bundle Installation Considerations and Options Jetting Specifications, Limitations and Testing
