What is FlexRibbon® Technology?
What is FlexRibbon® Technology?
Conventional Flat Ribbons are created by encasing 12 optical fibers in a rigid array. This enables mass-fusion splicing but has some limitations. FlexRibbon® Technology utilizes intermittent bonds between fibers, creating a flexible unit that can also be mass-fusion spliced, overcoming the limitations of the older technology.
Very High-Fiber Count FlexRibbon®Cables
Toggle DetailsOne of the early focuses for FlexRibbon® technology was to increase the fiber count for common duct sizes. Prysmian Group now offers fiber counts ranging from 1728 to 6912, which are optimized for 1-1/4”, 1-1/2”, or 2” ducts. Some of these options come with 250-micron fiber, while others have smaller 200-micron fiber. For more details, you can refer to our product datasheets.
Microduct Cables with FlexRibbon® Technology
Toggle DetailsMicroduct cables are an efficient choice for cable deployment, but many customers prefer ribbon cables due to their ease of splicing. While traditional (flat) ribbons are incompatible with microducts, our innovative FlexRibbon technology is. Explore our product datasheets for more details.
Flame-Rated Cables with FlexRibbon® Technology
Toggle DetailsBring the many benefits of flexible ribbons indoors! Small size and easy handling are available in cables that can be used indoors or brought into a building without a transitional splice. Click through to our product datasheets for details.
OSP FlexRibbon Cables for General-Purpose Applications
Toggle DetailsHero cables, like our 6912, are only possible with FlexRibbon technology. This technology also brings revolutionary benefits to lower fiber counts. Visit our product datasheets for more information.
