Emtelle | Fibrecast Microcables
Fibrecast Microcables
Fibre Unit (FU) with fibres set in an encapsulating layer providing excellent dimensional and thermal stability. An outer thermoplastic layer provides a high level of protection and excellent installation properties.
The FU is manufactured by Emtelle as a fibre element for installation into FibreFlow products. The fibres are dry, not coated with gel, thus permitting fast and contamination –free connections.

Microcabling
An outer layer provides a high level of protection and excellent installation properties. The Microcable is designed for installation into FibreFlowTM duct products.
Emtelle’s microcable contains ‘low water peak’ single mode fibres meeting the ITU-T (International Telecommunications Union) recommendation G.657A2, G.657.A1 fibre is also available.
Outcome of using Microcables
FibreFastTM boasts an impressive 8% improvement in friction coefficient over our FibreFlow microcable. Rigorously tested on Emtelle’s test track, the innovative FibreFastTM results in superior blowing performance. With over 25 years of experience in manufacturing fibre cable solutions.
FibreFastTM microcable now features improved tensile performance making this product ideal for our pre-terminated blowable fibre cable solutions.

Fibrecast Microcable
Emtelle have developed the FibreFast microcable to improve the overall installation experience by reducing installation time (Ultra Low Friction Sheath) and equipment specification (lower installation pressure required) depending on the infrastructure quality.
FibreFast microcable now features improved tensile performance making this product ideal for our pre-terminated blowable fibre cable solutions and this is distributed by Thorne and Derrick.
The microcable is well suited to the FTTx market, where it excels as a blowable terminated solution. It has applications in 5G/FTTA (antenna)/IoT, distributions network infrastructure and FTTH (home) as a blowable customer connection cable.
Deployed in 2.1mm – 5.0mm internal diameter microduct infrastructure.
Also it has these key features:
- Perfect blowable customer connection cable when paired with Emtelle QWK connect
- Small is size meaning even better storage
- Assembles the LCv ferrule in under 30secs – Intuitive build compared to others on the market
Key Benefits from AlrocÂ
- Superior blowing performance at low blowing pressure
- Improved durability – strong and lightweight cable.
- Tested in accordance with IEC 60794-5-20
