Prysmian Group: the only manufacturer to produce colour coded 180µm fiber optic 3 The reduction of fiber diameter is an enabler for reducing the cross section of cables. Combined with the need to install more fiber everywhere, comes the congestion of available spaces. It is therefore critical to install more fibers in a single duct, to avoid additional civil works costs. Beyond enabling higher fiber density and less civil works, reduced diameters also lead to faster installations, reduced packaging and transport costs, and decreased carbon footprints during network constructions. But reducing the fiber diameter can only add value in certain conditions: 1. I f it does not compromise the fiber performance in any way 2. I f it ensures the fiber is fully compatible with legacy networks and can be spliced for standard diameter fibers
