Corning Mini Cable Solutions
FREEDM® Mini Plenum and Riser Fiber Cables
Engineered for duct applications, these cables eliminate the need for a transition splice when entering the building, helping reduce time, labor, and complexity. A durable, plenum‑rated jacket supports compliance with ICEA 696, while the cable’s compact size, tensile strength, and enhanced crush resistance.
MIC® Mini 250 Plenum Fiber Cables
Designed to deliver reliable performance, simplified installation and long-term durability in plenum, riser, and general-purpose environments. A durable, plenum-rated jacket enables compliance with ICEA 696 that is an ideal solution for indoor networks that require a balance of performance, protection and installation efficiency to meet today’s evolving demands.

Corning’s MiniXtend® portfolio helps push density even further without expanding pathways
For environments where duct congestion, limited conduit space, or future growth demands continue to challenge network expansion, MiniXtend micro cables offer an additional pathway‑optimization approach.
Designed for microduct applications and air‑assisted installation, MiniXtend cables are up to 50% smaller than standard loose‑tube cables while supporting higher fiber counts in a compact footprint making them ideal for projects where maximizing existing duct space is critical.
The MiniXtend portfolio supports indoor, indoor‑outdoor, and outside‑plant use cases and enables scalable network growth without disruptive construction or costly pathway expansion.
