Ribbon Fiber Cable

Features:

Totally gel-free fiber optic cable design for cleaner, faster installations
A significantly lighter weight cable for faster and easier deployment
Core maximizes optical fibers per duct and supports mass-fusion splicing
Metallic and dielectric sheath options support lashed aerial, direct buried, and duct installations
Deploy up to 432 optical fibers in a one-inch ID duct
RDUP (formerly RUS) listed; compliant with ANSI/ICEA, Telcordia Technologies, and IEC specifications for reliable performance

Ribbon fiber cable with a dry central core tube, which contains a gel-free, water-blocking tape and either up to eighteen 12-fiber Ribbon units (12 to 216 fibers) or up to eighteen 24-fiber units (240 to 432 fibers). Surrounding the central tube is an additional layer of water-blocking tape and an optional layer of armor. Completing the construction of the DC Cable is a durable polyethylene (PE) jacket with integrated metallic or dielectric strength members. Ripcords are strategically located beneath the jacket for easy cable entry.
