Fiber Optic Cable: 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.
