Product Details

Ribbon Locate cables are designed to offer low resistivity (less than 10 Ohms per mile) and are for use in long distance remote location systems. These cables make use of a highly flexible tube that contains up to 18 ribbons, each containing 12 optical fibers. PFM™ gel is used in the tube to reduce the time needed to access the fibers. The core is wrapped with a water-swellable yarns to block water flow. A copper metallic locatable tape is applied and then encased in a black UV resistant outer jacket of HDPE. Ripcords are included under the tape for ease of access to the core tube.
