OFS and Sempra Install Fiber Through Active Natural Gas Pipes

The city of Long Beach, California will install OFS' DuctSaver FX cable through natural gas lines to provide fiber access to several buildings. The technology, created by Sempra Fiber Links, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy, allows for installation and operation of the fiber network inside a pipeline while gas is flowing, eliminating the need for street retrenching. OFS' DuctSaver FX is a 48-count fiber cable.
