288-432f FusionLink™ with FlexRibbon® Dry Cable
FusionLink™ with FlexRibbon® technology provides an ultracompact outside plant cable design that contains 288-432 bend-insensitive fibers. Using FlexRibbon® technology, ribbons are rolled up and packed together into small-diameter subunits. While FlexRibbon® provides high packing density, these 200 µm fiber ribbons still provide the advantages of mass fusion splicing.

Features and Benefits
Ultra Compact Design
- FlexRibbons are rolled up into a compact central tube
- Significantly smaller diameter and lighter weight cables allow for easier installation and the use of smaller ducts
FlexRibbon® Technology
- Extremely flexible ribbons can be rolled up for high packing densities or laid flat for ribbon splicing
- 12 fiber ribbons are compatible with mass fusion heat strippers, cleavers, and splice machines
- Uses standard 200 µm coated bend-insensitive fiber (ITU G657.A2)
- Note 1: These cable designs require coupling coils at the splice points in aerial applications to prevent fiber retraction in closures.
- Note 2: Vibratory Plowing is not recommended for these designs
Performance
- Uses full dry water blocking technology in the tubes and cable core for easy closure preparation and termination
- Tested in accordance with GR20 and ICEA 640 and with relevant EIA/ TIA-455 series FOTPs for fiber optic cables
Available Uncoupled or Coupled Designs: These designs couple the ribbons with the cable, which eliminates the need for splice point coupling coils in aerial applications
Registered Supplier: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, TL 9000, and OHSAS 18001
