Blowing
Applied in tubes, ducts, trays, blocks, tunnels, collecting channels, with no risk of rodent attacks. Also applied for aerial installation between supports and buildings on external strength members or using the winding method.
Ducting
Applied in ducts, trays, blocks, tunnels, collecting channels, with a risk of rodent attacks.
Direct Buried
Applied in harsh environments with potential mechanical impact: in all ground types, swamps and harsh rivers.
Submarine
Applied in sea areas (coastal shelf and deep-sea), on navigable rivers, in lakes and water storage basins, in harsh environments, in bogs and unnavigable rivers.
Figure 8
Applied for aerial installations: on power lines, lamp posts, between buildings and constructions. Suitable for aerial installation on transmission equipment and power facilities in dielectric package.
Aerial
Applied for aerial installation on distribution and high voltage power lines, as well as railway catenary.
Indoor
Applied inside buildings (including vertical runs), in trays, channels, on outer sides of buildings, as well as in duct, in tubes and blocks. Suitable for blowing-in into protecting polyethylene tubes.
Drop
Applied for aerial installation on transmission towers, lamp posts, between buildings and constructions.
OPGW/Ground Wire
Applied in the construction of fiber-optic link on overhead transmission lines of 35 kV and more.
Fire Rated
Used for stationary installation when the optical fiber needs extra protection from mechanical damages.
Specialty Cable
For fiber optic monitoring systems.

Wire & Cable Conference 2018 brings together the leading enterprises of the industry.
CRU, a global consulting company, was organizer of this conference. They specialize in business analytics for global markets, including power and optical cable market.
Main topic of Wire & Cable 2018 were:
• forecast for global wire and cable and optical fibre supply and demand
• the development of offshore wind energy projects and how they will impact cable producers, traders and distributors
• the concept of smart cities and role of energy generation, transmission and distribution systems in improving urban life.
This year, also discussed trends in key markets in China, Southeast Asia, Europe and America.
Speakers include Richard Mack (CRU), Fredrik Bergfors (Borealis), Michael Hjort (NKT), Andrew Shaw (DUCAB), Dr. Jiang Xin Li (ZTT), Peter Arnoff Nielsen (OFS) and Alexander Smilgevich (Incab).
We are grateful to CRU for the invitation to take a part of Alexander Smilgevich. He made a presentation called Optical fibre market update from Russia.
