Installations using air blown fiber can save 15% over conventional fiber installations.  In addition to the cost savings, however, blown fiber offers the network manager other significant advantages.

1. For example, if you need to wire your campus for current and future bandwidth requirements, you may want to install spare fibers.  However, what should you install?
   • Multimode 62.5/125
   • Multimode 50/125
   • Singlemode 8.3/125 Doped for Dense WDM at 1550nm
   • Standard Singlemode 8.3/125

   Since there's no sure way to forecast what equipment manufacturers will require in the future, it's impossible to know what to install now.  The solution is install only what you can utilize today.  Later, as additional fiber is required, blow in the new fiber type that you need.

2. Air Blown fiber can be routed to 4km without splicing.
3. Air Blown fiber does not require any conduit.
4. Air Blown fiber is simple to re-route in the event you change locations.
5. Air Blown fiber is available now!  There is no need to wait for fiber deliveries.
