576F Rollable Ribbon

576F Rollable Ribbon AFL Non-Armored Fiber Optic Cable 576-RR-NASJ-72-AFL-F-D

576F Rollable Ribbon AFL Non-Armored Fiber Cable (Part Number: 576-RR-NASJ-72-AFL-F-D) is a high-density, outside plant (OSP) fiber optic cable designed to maximize fiber counts in tight spaces. This 576F Rollable Ribbon leverages AFL’s unique SpiderWeb Ribbon (SWR) technology to offer a collapsible, highly flexible matrix that behaves like loose fibers during handling but simplifies to mass-fusion splicing when needed.

Description

Key Specifications & Breakdown

  • Fiber Count: 576 Fibers, grouped into a highly efficient rollable ribbon layout. 
  • Structure & Design: Contains 72 rollable ribbons (typically packaged in an optimized configuration).
  • Cable Type: Non-Armored, Single Jacket (NASJ), making it highly dielectric, lightweight, and easy to handle without requiring grounding or bonding equipment. 
  • Core Technology: Built on a completely gel-free, water-blocked core which significantly reduces preparation time and mess during splicing. 
  • Measurement Unit: The F-D or standard suffixing frequently designates Feet marking and specific distribution configurations. 

Top Technical Advantages

  • High Packing Density: By utilizing rollable ribbon structures rather than rigid, flat ribbons, this cable features an ultra-small diameter. It fits easily into highly crowded or restricted-space innerducts.
  • No Preferential Bending: Unlike traditional flat ribbon designs, rollable ribbons flex in all directions, permitting much simpler coiling, slack storage, and pulling around tight bends.
  • Mass Fusion Splicing Compatible: The 200 µm fibers feature a structured ribbon pitch separation that makes them fully compatible with standard 250 µm mass fusion splicers, reducing field labor times drastically.
