MicroCore®
MicroCore® is an advanced fiber optic cable technology that allows
maximum utilization of existing or future conduit systems with minimal
initial investment. Using microduct technology, MicroCore® cables are
jetted through a network of microducts. Changing or adding to your
network is as simple as jetting new fiber optic cables through
existing microducts that are part of your conduit system. That reduces
up-front capital costs and allows you to build a network to the size
you need it today, while providing the ability to easily expand future
capacity.
Advantages:
Minimize Investment and Boost Revenue
Using microduct technology, MicroCore® allows you to deploy fiber
when you need it. That saves up-front capital expense and allows you
to deploy deeper into your network. With greater loop penetration, you
can sign up more subscribers and generate revenue more quickly.
Future-proof Your Network
Because MicroCore® allows you to install fiber only when you need
it, you can ensure that future installations will use the latest fiber
optic technology. So you can upgrade your network in step with fiber
technology advancements, and scale it to the size you need.
Override Existing Networks
MicroCore® has the flexibility to easily override existing networks.
An override allows MicroCore® cables and microducts to be jetted into
conduit systems with existing cable, to expand networks that are at
capacity. No need to get expensive and time consuming permits, disrupt
network performance, or pay for property damage for sidewalk or
pavement removal.
