Sirocco™ Cable
Prysmian’s Sirocco™ Microduct Cables are engineered for optimal jetting performance in underground microduct installations and for jetting directly over existing cables. Designed to meet the growing demands of high-capacity networks, these reduced-diameter fiber optic cables provide superior reliability, lightweight construction, and efficient blowing performance. Available for microducts with inside diameters ranging from 8 mm to 14 mm (and larger), Sirocco cables combine compact size with industry-leading Bend-Insensitive Fiber technology. Both SiroccoHD (200μm) and SiroccoXT (180μm) variants achieve some of the highest fiber densities on the market, enabling up to 864 fibers in a single 14 mm duct.
By maximizing duct utilization, Sirocco helps network operators:
- Defer capital expenditures in line with revenue streams
- Maintain flexibility for future network growth
- Reduce installation and upgrade costs
- Minimize disruption to underground infrastructure
