Air Blown Microduct

Air Blown Microducts are small, flexible tubes designed to house fiber optic cables that are installed using compressed air. They provide a scalable, cost‑effective, and efficient way to expand telecom and data networks, especially in areas with limited underground duct space. smart cities, IoT, cloud computing, and high-bandwidth applications.

  • Space Efficiency: Microducts save up to 50% of duct space compared to standard fiber cables.

  • Scalability: New fibers can be added later without digging or replacing infrastructure.

  • Cost Savings: Lower installation costs due to reduced labor and civil works.

  • Speed: Faster deployment compared to traditional cabling methods.

  • Flexibility: Supports multiple cable types and future technology upgrades.

The optical network construction based on microduct system is a proved, flexible and cost-effective solution, with our accumulated knowledge from design and installation for more than 20 years, we provide solutions and services including network design by experienced engineers.

Key Benefits

  • Definition: HDPE plastic tubes (often bundled) that act as pathways for fiber optic cables.

  • Purpose: Fiber cables are “blown” into these ducts using compressed air, rather than pulled manually.

  • Advantage: Simplifies installation, reduces civil engineering work, and allows future upgrades without replacing ducts.

Micro Technology is a term given to smaller conduits and fiber used in Inside and Outside Plant Construction (ISP and OSP). Microducts were developed as a solution to house fiber cables that were smaller in size, but still carried significant capacity. The glass fibers are the same type as those used in traditional fiber cables, only the cable design has been altered to reduce the diameter of the cable sheath and support system. Microducts bundled under one sheath are called Air Blown Microduct and provide multiple ducts in one structure for future expansion of networks.

For several years, SIPTECH has successfully carried out microduct projects ranging from inbuilding, FTTH, intra-city to long distance in many projects, with this knowledge of skilled engineers and quality products of providing microduct total solution to our customers.

Micro ducts are tubes with an inner low friction surface that enables air blown installation of fiber optic micro cables.
