Flat Bundle Microduct System, GryphonX™

The Hermesys GryphonX™ Flat Bundle Microduct is a multi-way HDPE microduct system for staged fibre network build-out. Bundles of microducts are laid first, and optical fibre cables are blown in later, once traffic demand is confirmed. It is available in 12/8mm, 14/10mm, and 16/12mm microduct sizes, each with multiple bundle configurations.

Key Features and Benefits

• Modular bundles of 2 to 7 ways let operators size the duct route to the cables they plan to install.
• Self-protecting HDPE thick-walled tubes can be extracted individually from the bundle, which makes branch connections possible without disturbing neighbouring ducts.
• Lay-first, blow-later staging lets operators build duct routes ahead of demand and add fibre cables only when needed.
• Compatible with existing microduct blowing technologies, so it fits into duct networks already built around other systems.
• High crush, impact, and kink resistance on both the individual microducts and the bundle sheath suit direct-buried and duct-bank installation.
• Low coefficient of friction inner bore supports efficient long-distance fibre blowing once cables are ready for installation.
• Offered in 12/8mm, 14/10mm, and 16/12mm microduct sizes, giving a size match for different fibre-count and cable-diameter requirements.
