Ultra-High-Density Microduct Cable with Uncoupled 12-Core Fibers with Standard 250-µm Coating

We developed 12-core fibers suitable for short/medium-reach applications and fabricated a 144-fiber 8-mm-outer-diameter cable using the 12-core fibers, which demonstrates the feasibility of ultra-high-core-count optical cables that can be blown into widely-deployed small-diameter microducts.
