Features and Benefits
Ultra Compact Design
- FlexRibbons are rolled up into compact 72- to 288-fiber sub-units for easier routing
- Significantly smaller diameter and lighter weight cables allow for easier installation and the use of smaller ducts
- With as much as 21% smaller diameter (38% volume reduction) over traditional ribbon designs, maximizing duct space utilization
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 250 um coated bend-insensitive fiber (ITU G657.A1)
Performance
- Uses full dry water blocking technology in the tubes and cable core for easy closure preparation and termination
- Tested in accordance with GR 20/ICEA 640 and with relevant EIA/TIA-455 series FOTPs for fiber optic cables
Registered Supplier: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, TL 9000, and OHSAS 18001
