Abstract(in English) This paper describes newly designed Ultra-High-Density (UHD) microduct optic cables which are installed into microducts with air-blown technique. The UHD microduct cables employs Freeform RibbonTM*, in which fibers meet and split out in turns in a longitudinal and transverse direction, thus allowing high fiber density and mass fusion splicing. In order to enhance blowing property, we combined thin and light weight cable design with low friction jacket material. In addition, we have realized remarkably increased fiber density owing to bend-insensitive and thin optical fiber and Freeform ribbonTM technology. We also evaluated the blowing performance, so it was confirmed that the developed cable had excellent blowing property.
