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.

One of the main international events in the industry — the CRU World Optical Fiber & Cable Conference — was held on October 26-28, 2020. CRU, a global consulting company that provides business analytics for various global markets, including the optical fiber and cable market, traditionally hosted the event. This year the conference was held online on a specially developed virtual platform but nevertheless brought together industry experts and leaders from all over the world.
The main topics of the CRU World Optical Fiber & Cable Conference 2020 under discussion were:
-the impact of the crisis and expected recovery for optical fiber and cable industry;
-identification of promising market segments and outsiders;
-the influence of government business support programs on the market;
-overview of the latest trends and innovations in the industry.
Among speakers there were Michael Finch (CRU), Bernhard Deutsch (Corning), Philippe Vanhille (Prysmian), Rob Wessels (Commscope), Karl Bauer (NBG Technologies), Alain Giraud (Rosendahl Nextrom SA) and Alexander Smilgevich (Incab).
It is a great honour that Alexander Smilgevich took part as a speaker in the event. We’d like to thank CRU for granting this generous opportunity. For Incab: At the conference Alexander presented a new European manufacturer of optical cable — Emcab, a joint venture between Incab and Emtelle.
