288-864f MicroFlex™ with FlexRibbon® Cable
Prysmian’s MicroFlex™ cables deliver enhanced jetting performance for underground microduct installations and for jetting directly over existing cables. The FlexRibbon® technology from Prysmian allows for mass-fusion splicing while keeping the cable's outer diameter small, making it suitable for diameter-sensitive applications. By utilizing 200μm fiber, these cables achieve further reductions in weight and diameter that are not possible with standard 250μm fiber. This compact cable combines high reliability with a reduced size and weight, ensuring optimal blowing performance.
MicroFlex™ cables are an excellent choice for network operators who want to maximize duct utilization, defer capital expenditures to align with revenue streams, maintain flexibility for future growth, and minimize installation and upgrade costs.
