576-6912f MassLink™ with FlexRibbon® Cable
MassLink™ with FlexRibbon® technology features an ultracompact design for outside-plant cables and can accommodate up to 6,912 bend-insensitive fibers. This efficient configuration uses FlexRibbon technology, which rolls and packs ribbons into small-diameter sub-units with 144 or 288 fibers. Despite the high packing density, these 200 µm fiber ribbons maintain the benefits of mass fusion splicing.

Features and Benefits
Ultra Compact Design
- FlexRibbons are rolled up into compact 144- to 288-fiber sub-units for easier routing.
- Significantly smaller-diameter, lighter-weight cables allow for easier installation and the use of smaller ducts.
- These designs can be installed in smaller ducts than conventional flat ribbon, which maximizes 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 200 μm coated bend-insensitive fiber (ITU G657.A2)
Tube Coil vs. Sleeved Coil Ribbon Storage
- Tube Coil Cables – These cables are made with larger, more robust tubes so the cable can be used in ribbon storage without kinking. These tubes can be coiled without the need for sleeves/furcation.
- Sleeved Coil Cables – These cables feature smaller, more compact tubes to provide a more compact cable. Therefore, the ribbons will need sleeved/furcation tubing to be coiled for storage without kinking.
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
