Description
Key Specifications & Architecture
- Fiber Count: 288 Fibers organized into flat ribbon matrix structures (typically 24 ribbons of 12 fibers each) to enable ultra-fast mass-fusion splicing and maximize duct space efficiency.
- Fiber Type: Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber. This is a premium single-mode (OS2) fiber combining standard ITU-T G.652.D compliance with enhanced ITU-T G.657.A1 bend-insensitivity for low attenuation and reliable macrobend performance in tight installations.
- Cable Construction: Non-armored / All-Dielectric (Single Jacket). Eliminates the need for grounding or bonding, resulting in a lighter weight and more flexible footprint optimized for pulling through underground ducts or lashing to aerial strands.
- Gel-Free Core: Employs completely dry water-blocking technology (water-swellable tapes/yarns). This speeds up deployment by reducing cable preparation time and eliminating the messy cleaning steps associated with gel-filled tubes.
- BABA Compliance: Formally certified as produced in the United States with domestically sourced materials to satisfy strict federal procurement rules.
Primary Applications
- Duct Installations: The lightweight, non-armored design drastically minimizes pulling friction inside standard or innerduct environments.
- Lashed Aerial: Suited for outside plant (OSP) pole line deployments where the cable is lashed onto a dedicated steel messenger wire.
- Data Center Interconnects & Metro Loops: Provides high-capacity, compact backbone routing between nodes or hyperscale data center clusters.
