MaxCell – Everywhere Innerduct Solutions

Supplier Overview

With 20 years of industry leading technology, MaxCell® is one of the fastest growing brands in the network construction industry. Accepted by the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) and installed by the largest global telecom companies and cable Management Service Organizations (MSOs), MaxCell is the standard for maximizing conduit space while reducing total system costs.

The only flexible fabric innerduct solutions designed specifically for the network construction industry, MaxCell products conform to the shape of cables placed within, greatly reducing the wasted space associated with rigid innerduct options. Network owners and builders use MaxCell to increase cable density by as much as 300%. Faced with the challenge of deploying new infrastructure while minimizing costs, using MaxCell products reduces the number of conduits required for new network construction, minimizes the need for additional conduit in overlay applications, and enables incremental deployment to match system requirements.

Markets We Serve

MaxCell is for Broadband

Broadband service providers have used MaxCell for over ten years in virtually every known conduit application in their market, including large cable, urban and backbone cabling; through choke points of river bores, bridges, and railroad crossings; to fiber to the home applications.

MaxCell is for Campuses

Communication across multiple campus buildings requires substantially expanded LAN infrastructure. MaxCell decreases or eliminates the need to dig new conduit structures, reducing physical project funding expenses, providing pathways for future needs, and speeding up project completion.

MaxCell is for Data Centers

Modern data centers require vast amounts of different types of cable. MaxCell is utilized to condense pathway structures from multiple redundant building entrance applications, and for internal building management of power, HVAC, trunk, and branch communication cables.

MaxCell is for the Military

Since 2000, MaxCell has been used in more than 200 military and government installations around the world, including some of the harshest telecom environments. Engineers and contracting officers specify MaxCell for use in government telecom projects due to its lower transport and installation costs.

MaxCell is for Telecom

MaxCell applications include FTTH, central office backbone and curb-to-building deployments. By “piggybacking” MaxCell in copper deployments, carriers can place the technology they need now while reducing the construction costs required for future fiber optic deployment.

Our Solutions

From new construction to the most difficult overlays, MaxCell creates pathways and place cables in all environments.

Bridges and Unique Obstacles

Bridges and Unique Obstacles

Problem: Conduit space is difficult to access. Exposure to elements causes expansion and contraction of HDPE conduit and microducts.

Solution: Lay MaxCell in overlay or new construction to optimize space and allow for future pathways. MaxCell resists expansion/contraction from temperature changes.

Cellular Backhaul

Cellular Backhaul

Problem: Fiber or Ethernet based overrides in occupied ducts. Short underground connection to aerial plant. Longer connections to underground plant.

Solution: MaxCell creates pathway(s) for insertion of new cables in already densely occupied smaller conduits.

Curb to Building

Directional underground boring to install plastic conduit for high speed fiber internet utilities

Curb to Building

Problem: Existing PVC or HDPE short runs <500 ft. Poor design with numerous sweeps and bends that make placing conduit or microduct difficult.

Solution: Place MaxCell in empty duct. Overlay MaxCell in existing congested duct. Avoid new construction, while guaranteeing quick deployment.

Long Pull

Problem: Short pulls are not as cost effective as making single longer cable pulls.

Solution: Pull MaxCell through multiple manholes, reducing overall set-up time.

Solution: Pull MaxCell through multiple manholes, reducing overall set-up time.

Occupied Conduit

Conduit cables running through the ground

Occupied Conduit

Problem: Existing outer ducts occupied with cables and/or HDPE rigid innerducts. Desire not to utilize last empty duct(s) (high congestion). Microducts difficult to blow in occupied ducts with a high fill ratio.

Solution: Pull MaxCell over existing cables or innerducts (overlay) allowing additional cable(s) to be pulled in dedicated pathway.

Space Recovery/Renewal

Space Recovery/Renewal

Problem: Congested duct typically means copper must be removed prior to upgrading with fiber. Single duct in outer duct is wasting space.

Solution: Overbuild with MaxCell and place fiber prior to removing copper. Pull out copper and pull in MaxCell. Utilize the MaxSpace recovery and renewal services.
