1	Maximum span range from 400 feet to 1,150 feet, depending on loading conditions, fiber counts, installation conditions and clearance requirements. Contact OFS for specific details for your application.
2	Based on field studies examining the time required to prepare cable ends for splicing and terminations for similar gel-filled ADSS cables as compared with PowerGuide ShortSpan DT Cable.
3	For a typical 250-foot cable run, under NESC Medium Loading Conditions, the gel-free cable construction allows for the use of light duty attachment hardware, which costs on average 40% less per pole. Lighter duty and less costly attachment hardware may be used due to lower loading tensions made possible by the lighter weight, gel-free cable design.

With fiber counts up to 432, the MiDia® FX Dry Core Microcable can help dramatically maximise the capacity and cost-effectiveness of metropolitan fiber access.  This compact, lightweight microcable helps save time and money on deployment by offering rapid installation and high fiber density where space is at a premium. 432-fiber MiDia FX Dry Core Microcables are available only with AllWave® FLEX ZWP Fiber.

Features and Benefits:

• Faster deployment with microcables specifically optimised for air-blown installation using micro-duct systems
• Help to reduce deployment costs and eliminate the need for expensive and disruptive excavation and procuring costly rights-of-way
• Deploying fiber only as needed helps to defer initial build costs and allows flexibility for future network upgrades with newer fibre types/technologies
• High fiber density ratio helps increase capacity in limited spaces
• Reduced diameter, lightweight cable designs for easier handling and installation
• Excellent solutions for new and existing duct systems
• Fiber counts of 12 to 432 (MiDia FX Microcable)
• Cable is water blocked using dry, “water swellable” technology for excellent water penetration resistance and quicker, cleaner cable preparation for jointing
• Meets IEC 60794-1-2 and 60794-5 for reliable performance
• Available with OFS leading-edge optical fibers including AllWave® FLEX ZWP Single-Mode Fibre and AllWave® ZWP Single-Mode Fiber (Note: MiDia FX Microcables with 432 fibers are available only with AllWave FLEX ZWP Fiber)

Design:
With the MiDia GX Dry Core Cable design, the optical fibers are placed in space-efficient, gel-filled buffer tubes to help protect the fibres from environmental and mechanical forces. Both the optical fibers and buffer tubes are color-coded for easy identification. The buffer tubes are then stranded around a dielectric central member using the reverse oscillating lay (ROL) stranding technique. Unlike other techniques, ROL makes it easy to gain fast, mid-span fiber access. In the next step, dry waterblocking material is applied to the cable core to provide exceptional water-blocking performance and faster cable preparation. Finally, a ripcord and a durable PE jacket are added to complete the cable construction.
