Product Details

• Superior Essex’s Premises Ribbon Distribution cables contain 12 to 288 optical fibers. The fibers are grouped in the form of 12-fiber flat ribbons. For fiber counts greater than 216, two 12-fiber ribbons are conjoined to form a 24-fiber ribbon subunit that's easily separable into two 12-fiber ribbons. The optical fiber ribbons are stacked within a single, flame-retardant, PVC central buffer tube. Dual layers of stranded dielectric strength elements are wrapped around the central tube for tensile and compression strength. A riser or plenum rated PVC sheath covers the strength elements and the cables have highly visible ripcords underneath the jacket for rapid sheath entry.
• The ribbon cables are available with an OFNR listing passing the UL® 1666 riser burn test or OFNP listing passing NFPA 262 plenum test. The cables are ideal for high density requirements where conduit space is limited. This cable also meets or exceeds the distribution cable requirements of ANSI/ICEA-596 and Telcordia® GR-409-CORE, Issue 2.
