Air Blown Fiber

Make "Dark Fiber" Obsolete

Air blown fiber (ABF) is a leading-edge fiber optic technology designed to reduce the costs associated with traditional fiber installations. Rather than install vast amounts of costly optical cabling that may never even be used, the ABF approach is to install an inexpensive ABF tubing infrastructure that is ready to grow incrementally, as your network expands.

Easy, Inexpensive Network Reconfiguration

ABF makes network moves, adds, and changes easy by allowing old fiber to be blown out and new fiber to be blown in to existing installations. In addition, old ABF fiber is re-usable for future installation.

Control Network Capacity

Air blown fiber tubing and fiber bundles are available in various capacities for trivial upgrades and reducing the need to install additional conduit.

Future-Proof Installation

ABF is compatible with conventional networks and is available in all types of fiber optic cabling. Fiber can be blown in at speeds of 150 feet per minute, even in hard to reach, limited-access, or secure areas without disruptions to your operations.
