The Hexatronic micro cables are characterized by state of the art installation performance when installed by blowing into microducts. This more robust product is designed to also be used in aerial installation by lashing.

All parameters such as cable diameter, sheath friction, cable stiffness, extra robust jacket etc are optimized for best installation performance without compromizing mechanical or environmental properties.

The micro cables are based on a slim loose tube design with up to 24 tubes per cable. The design facilitates fiber preparation and mid-span access. The cables are suitable for long-distance, air blown installation in microducts, with an inner diameter of 12 to 16 mm. The cables have excellent bend performance and an extremely wide operational temperature range.

The Micro Cables are designed with one layer of inner protective tubes made of a unique Polyamide compound. The Polyamide gives a special strength to the product, while increasing the bending properties as well as other benefits such as extreme temperature resistance. Each tube contains 12 or 24 fibers. As a result, The Micro Cables are more durable during the installation process as they are able to withstand rough handling. The unique cable design with an extended operational temperature range of -40 to +70°C can be used in many environments, on all continents where heat and cold are often a major concern.

The cables have a unique rodent repellant sheath that contains no metal, aramide or glass yarn.

It is 100% non toxic and does not poison humans or rodents. Fully in line with REACH and RoHS directives.

  1. Primary coated fiber: Silica, acrylate
  2. Loose tube: PA
  3. Central strength member: Glass fiber reinforced plastic, PE
  4. Slit up yarn: Aramide yarn

Installation Notes

Typical installation performance:

  • Ducts ID 12 mm, cable OD ≤9 mm: 2000 m
  • Ducts ID 14 mm, cable OD ≤10.5 mm: 2000 m
  • Ducts ID 15-16 mm, cable OD <11 mm: 2000 m, cable OD 11-12 mm: 1500 m

Installation performance verified on Hexatronic test track, according to IEC 60794. Installation performance is affected by the installed path, environmental conditions, installation equipment etc and actual performance may therefore deviate from the above specified values.

If the cable is installed by blowing the temperature shall be -15 to +40°C. The cable shall not be stored in direct sunlight. The sun may heat up the cable over the permitted temperature limit.

Ordering Information Supplied lengths: 2, 4, 8 km (96 and 144f max length 6km)
