288-432f FusionLink™ with FlexRibbon® Dry Cable
FusionLink™ with FlexRibbon® Technology offers an ultra-compact design for outside plant cables that supports 288 to 432 bend-insensitive fibers. By using FlexRibbon technology, the fibers are rolled and packed tightly into a small-diameter buffer tube. This high packing density allows for efficient use of space while preserving the advantages of mass fusion splicing for the 200 µm fiber ribbons.
