EPFU – Enhanced Performance Fiber Units
- Available in 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12-core configurations
- Special surface texture design for superior blowing performance
- Lightweight and flexible for repeated deployment
- Dry design enables easy fiber separation and termination
- Outstanding cost advantage compared to traditional indoor fiber cabling products
The EPFU Micro Air Blown Fiber Optic Cable is a specialized, ultra-lightweight fiber unit designed for air-blown installation systems. It is engineered to be effortlessly installed into pre-deployed microducts using compressed air or gas, enabling fast, flexible, and cost-efficient fiber deployment. This micro cable is optimized for high-speed blowing over long distances with minimal friction, making it ideal for FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home), data centers, and last-mile connectivity projects.
FEATURES：
- Enables quick deployment by blowing fibers into existing microducts, reducing labor costs
- Small diameter allows for high-density routing in congested pathways
- Minimal Friction, Long Blowing Distances
- Additional fibers can be blown in later without replacing ducts
- Eliminates the need for traditional pulling methods, saving time and resources
