Cost-effective optical fiber installation Ericsson's Ribbonet® Air Blown Fiber system has been developed specifically to provide fast, efficient and flexible fiber distribution in the drop and premises network.The system is recommended for medium to long-distance drop networks where substantial cost savings can be achieved by reducing the number of splice points and by installing fiber incrementally when needed. The technology also enables future expansion of the network without costly additional civil works. The Ribbonet® system, consisting of ducts forming the infrastructure into which the fiber units are blown, can be used outdoors, indoors and underground, as well as in aerial applications. The Ribbonet® system consists of Enhanced Performance Fiber Units (EPFUs), ducts, duct joints and accessories and an Ericsson patented lightweight air blowing tool. The Ericsson Ribbonet® Air Blown Fiber (ABF) system consists of
Further details of Ericsson’s offering are available in the sections below. A complete list of products and characteristics is available in the Downloads section. Products - Ribbonet Air Blown Fiber (ABF)
Pre-connected EPFU, consisting of discrete fibers or fiber ribbons encapsulated in a round multi-layer, high-performance acrylate coating. The connected EPFU is delivered on lightweight polystyrene reels, optimized for use with the Ribbonet® fiber blowing tool. The connected end is made of bend resistant G657B fiber. The EPFU is available in configurations from 1 to 4 fibers.
EPFU consisting of discrete fibers or fiber ribbons, encapsulated in a round multi-layer, high-performance acrylate coating. The EPFU is delivered in pans in lengths from 2000 to 6000m. The EPFU is available in configurations from 1 to 8 fibers.
Products - Micro- and Multiducts for ABF
Ducts composed of 5/3.5mm microducts with a heavy-duty HDPE sheath that enables direct buried installation. To prevent water diffusion when permanently submersed, a moisture barrier of aluminum foil is wrapped around the microducts. The microducts have a solid, low-friction inner surface coating for best installation performance.
Ducts composed of 5/3.5mm microducts with a heavy-duty HDPE sheath that enables direct buried installation. To facilitate installation, these ducts are provided without a metallic moisture barrier. The microducts have a solid, low-friction inner surface coating for best installation performance.
Ducts composed of 5/3.5mm microducts. The ducts are designed for installation in existing pipes or cable shafts. To prevent water diffusion when permanently submersed, a moisture barrier of aluminum foil is wrapped around the microducts. The microducts have a solid, low-friction inner surface coating for best installation performance.
Microducts and multiducts with a sheath made of halogen-free, flame-retardant material. A microduct is also available with an extra protection sheath for mounting directly onto walls with cable clamps. The microducts have a solid, low-friction inner surface coating for best installation performance.
Microducts for aerial installation on poles that are self-supporting, non-metallic and lightweight to ensure quick and easy installation. The tubes include a stabilized sheath to resist the aging effects of UV radiation. The ducts are part of the Ericsson Aerial Air Blown Fiber (ABF) System and include both 5mm and 10mm ducts.
Microduct snap-in connectors for quick and easy splicing of microducts. The body is transparent for easy fault location during installation.
Gas Block Connector, MPB 306 02 Gas block microduct snap-in connectors normally used between indoor and outdoor environments to prevent air flow that may result in condensed water getting into in ducts. After cable installation, the connector can be gas sealed by turning a ring on the body, which is transparent for easy fault location during installation.
End-stop Connector, SXA 113 9137/10 and /12 Microduct snap-in end stop connectors for permanent or temporarily sealing of unused microducts to prevent water and dust from getting into the duct. The body is transparent for easy fault location during installation.
Microduct End Caps, NTM 504 032 End caps for microducts to prevent dirt and moisture entering the tubes. The end cap also locks the installed fiber to prevent it from moving in the tube. End caps should be used for all open ends in microduct installations. The end cap is made of rubber and has a slit that allows the fiber unit to pass through. Products - Duct Joints and Other Duct Equipment
A series of straight duct closures for maximum protection of duct joints for direct buried applications. Heat shrink technology is used for maximum protection. The closure is available in five different sizes and includes microduct snap-in connectors for 1 to 24 microducts.
A series of straight duct closures for quick and easy installation without the need for heat. The closure is available in several sizes. Microduct snap-in connectors are not included.
Flexible kit including materials and tools for jointing, branching and mid-span of microducts/multiducts. A vulcanizing cloth is used for sealing and strong and flexible PVC tape provides mechanical protection. Refill kits are available. Microduct snap-in connectors are not included.
This small sized closure is intended for fast and easy branching of direct buried microduct assemblies for air blown fibers. The typical application is to branch out 1 to 4 drop ducts. Mid-span capability, direct buried or above ground.
Branch joint closure suitable for multiducts in direct buried applications. It can be used for a large number of duct branches. The box has alternative entrances, allowing a large number of possible joint combinations, as well as mid-span access.
Easy-to-use closure, primarily intended for Ericsson’s Ericsson's Aerial Air Blown Fiber (ABF) System, that can also be used for above-ground branching application of ducts. The closure uses “gel-seal” technology for quick, safe installation.
Rubber covers used for temporarily seal of unused multiducts to avoid water and dust from getting into the ducts. The caps are available in several versions for different types of ducts
Designed for ducts with a Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) messenger figure-8 shaped duct assembly.
Anchoring Clamp, NSF 151 701 Designed for ducts with a FRP messenger figure-8 shaped duct assembly and for direct mounting on aerial drop ducts.
Suspension Clamp, NSF 151 501 Designed for ducts with a FRP messenger figure-8 shaped duct assembly.
Universal Pole Bracket, NSF 151 611 Designed for securing cable or ducts on wooden, concrete or metallic poles.
Products - Installation Tools and Accessories
This unique, easy-to-use lightweight tool has been designed for optimal performance when installing Ericsson’s EPFUs. The tool is delivered with a case and all necessary accessories, including two batteries, a charger and calibration tools.
Beads that can be mounted on the tip of the air blown fiber unit for optimal blowing. This is recommended for long installation distances with many duct connectors or sharp bends. The beads come in two different sizes to suit the different EPFUs.
Cleaning Sponges, NTM 502 07 Cleaning sponges are used when cleaning dust or moisture from a microduct. The sponge is simply blown through the microduct by the air pressure from the installation tool.
Duct Sheath Cutter, LDK 195 02 Used for quick and easy removal of any sheath from multiducts, this is an excellent tool for performing mid-span access on ducts.
Double Sheath Cutter, DK 195 01 Cutter to use when dismantling the outer sheath of a double-sheathed HDPE multiduct (direct buried).
A small and handy tool primarily for removing single-sheathed ducts.
Micro Cable Sheath Cutter, LDK 19503 Used for removal of the sheath on micro cables. The tool is delivered with three straight and one round blade. Cutting depth is adjustable.
