Product Details

Corning LSZH™ ribbon cables are designed for horizontal intrabuilding backbones where limited-smoke and zero-halogen requirements exist. These cables are organized with 12-fiber ribbons inside a central tube that are surrounded by dielectric strength members and a specially formulated flame-retardant outer jacket. The 12-fiber ribbons have readily identifiable ribbon ID numbers and fiber colors that allow for easy access to individual fibers. The precise fiber and ribbon geometries result in excellent mass splicing yields. The ribbon riser cables are compatible with standard ribbon cable procedures and hardware.

Features And Benefits:
• Precise fiber and ribbon geometries - Excellent mass splicing yields
• Ribbon ID numbers and fiber colors - Easily identifiable
• Flexible interlocking armor - Up to seven times the crush protection compared to non-armored cables
• Flame-retardant, UV-resistant jacket - Rugged and durable, indoor/outdoor use
• Low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath - Produces less toxic smoke when burned; allows people to exit building more quickly and reduces equipment damage during a fire
• Common installations - Indoor vertical riser and general purpose horizontal according to National Electrical Code® (NEC®) Article 770
