Abstract

The air-blown fiber (ABF) system that was introduced by British Telecom Research Laboratories in 1983¹ has become well known for the advantages of its installation process, which involves blowing an optical-fiber unit into an empty tube with compressed air. However, in return for its merits, this system has been believed to have the disadvantages of low optical-fiber density for a given cable diameter.
