Design and high-speed processing of new advanced blown fibre units (EPFU's)

• Two concepts of EPFU, based on single fibers and ribbon technology respectively, are introduced and discussed from a general performance point of view. Unit design with respect to installation performance, mechanical properties and optical performance is emphasized. A new, one-step manufacturing process with pertinent manufacturing equipment is furthermore introduced. Key requirements on the process, such as line speed, surface modification quality and stability are discussed.
