^{* Note: This design uses 24 fiber ribbons for counts of 240 to 576 fibers and 36 fiber ribbons for 612 to 864 fibers. Please refer to ribbon in loose tube designs for higher fiber counts using 12 fiber ribbons. If on-reel testing is required for the 612-864 fiber designs, a reel with a 60” drum must be specified on the order.}

Features and Benefits

Compact Design

Efficient packaging of higher fiber counts
Lightweight and easy to handle during installation

Easily Removable Ribbon Matrix

Allows for ease of stripping and fiber breakout
Improves mid-span strippability

Precision Ribbon Geometry: Time and labor savings during fiber splicing

Flexible Buffer Tube

Superior kink resistance
Increased flexibility
Facilitates route management in closures

Dry Water-Blocking Technology

Buffer tube and core are completely dry – no gel
Permits rapid cable preparation and termination
Water-blocking materials are easily removed

ezPrep® Corrugated Steel Armor

Provides additional mechanical protection
Special coating reduces the time and effort to remove the jacket

Available Uncoupled or Coupled Designs

Coupled design (RCD product) couples the ribbon stack with the cable, which eliminates the need for splice point coupling coils in aerial applications
Uncoupled design (RCU product) requires the use of coupling coils at the splice points in aerial applications to prevent fiber retraction in closures

Performance

Meets or exceeds the requirements of Telcordia GR-20 & ICEA 640 and is tested in accordance with relevant EIA/ TIA-455 series FOTPs for fiber optic cables
Tested in accordance with relevant EIA/TIA-455 series FOTPs for fiber optic cables Complies with RUS PE-90

Registered Supplier: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, TL 9000, and OHSAS 18001
