Blown Fibre

Brand-Rex Blolite system is an exceptional flexible and cost effective optical communications system designed for both backbone and fibre to the desk

Blolite achieves its cost-effectiveness and flexibility by separating the network into two discrete elements:

Passive duct infrastructure
High performance optical fibres

Blolite has numerous advantages over conventional fibre cable, especially in the large network:

Deferred cost

Installing Blolite and any fibre needed at the outset (25% of the eventual total according to surveys) can cut first year costs by up to 65% when compared with conventional fibre cable.

Ease of upgrade with no disruption

Fibre is blown-in to the existing infrastructure with no disruption to existing office space or staff, an impossibility when adding new conventional cable.

Change or add new fibres

The simplest way to do this is to blow new fibre into Blolite Microducts as and when needed. Install spare capacity to allow for this or simply blow out any redundant fibres using compressed air. Investment in the Microduct infrastructure is never lost.

Simple repairs

When conventional optical cable suffers damage the entire length mut be replaced or expensive splicing operations performed to effect repair. If Blolite microducts are damaged it is a simple matter of push-fitting a new length using Brand-Rex pneumatic connectors and blowing in new fibre from the comfort of the equipment room.
