Abstract: A cable, and method and system for deploying the cable are described. The cable includes a jacket having a plurality of outer grooves formed on its outer surface. The cable can be deployed by blowing it through a microduct using a jetting apparatus. The outer grooves allow the cable to be deployed over extended distance by allow improved airflow between the first and second ends of the microduct.

Abstract: A cable assembly may include a plurality of cable connectors and a cable jacket. Each cable connector may include a ferrule and a cable boot. Each ferrule may have a ferrule passage between a leading end and a trailing end and may be configured to receive an optical fiber. Each cable boot may include a first end with a recess configured to receive at least a portion of the ferrule and a second end having a boot passage connected to the recess and configured to receive at least a portion of the optical fiber. The cable jacket may include a jacket passage between a first portion and a second portion and may be configured to selectively release the plurality of cable connectors in the first configuration and receive the plurality of cable connectors in the second configuration.

Abstract: A fiber optic cable assembly may include a fiber optic cable that has a jacket and a plurality of optical fibers enclosed by and extending longitudinally within the jacket. The fiber optic cable assembly may also include a micro-duct disposed around at least a portion of the jacket, for example, where the cable is buried below grade. The fiber optic cable assembly may further include an insulating layer disposed around at least a portion of the micro-duct, and an outer layer disposed around the insulating layer. The insulating layer and the outer layer may protect the micro-duct and the cable in the event of high temperature exposure that may arise from nearby high temperature utilities, such as in a manhole, as well as to enable the fiber optic cable to be air jetted through the micro-duct from a starting point to a terminating point of a cable routing path.

Abstract: A system may include a first portion of a cabling facility provided in a first trench formed beneath a first expansion joint between a first sidewalk flag and a curb; a second portion of the cabling facility provided in a second trench formed beneath a second expansion joint between the first sidewalk flag and a second sidewalk flag; and a third portion of the cabling facility provided from a cable source and connecting to the first portion of the cabling facility or the second portion of the cabling facility.
