Description
Part Number Breakdown
- 576: The total fiber count (576 individual optical fibers).
- RR: Rollable Ribbon technology. Unlike traditional flat ribbons, these fibers are partially bonded at intermittent points. They can be tightly rolled to fit into much smaller, ultra-dense cable diameters while retaining the fast installation benefits of mass fusion splicing.
- NASJ: Non-Armored Single Jacket. Indicates an all-dielectric construction without metallic armoring, optimized for duct installations where physical protection against rodents or severe crushing isn’t required.
- 144: 144 fibers per buffer tube/subunit. The 576 fibers are divided into four subunits of 144 fibers each to streamline routing, breakout, and splice tray organization.
- OFS: The manufacturer, OFS Fitel LLC (a Furukawa Electric Company).
Core Benefits & Applications
- Extreme Packing Density: Rollable ribbon architectures allow this 576F cable to feature a significantly minimized outer diameter, allowing network operators to maximize critical space in innerducts or congested conduits.
- Streamlined Splicing & Handling: Integrates the speed of 12-fiber mass fusion splicing with the flexible routing characteristics of loose individual fibers.
- Deployment Environments: Primarily utilized in outside plant (OSP) data center interconnects (DCI), metropolitan networks, and high-density telecom backbones. It is ideally suited for blowing or pulling into underground duct systems.
