Product Details

Corning ribbon riser cables are all-dielectric and designed for indoor use. The optical fibers are organized into easily identifiable 12-fiber ribbons inside a central tube. The required tensile strength is provided by dielectric strength elements that are helically stranded around the central tube. The specially formulated, flame-retardant outer jacket and rugged construction of these cables facilitates routing through riser shafts and long horizontal runs inside buildings. These cables are tested using the UL 1666 flame test, meet the application requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and are OFNR and FT-4 listed.

This cable is available in 12 different jacket colors – blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white, red, black, yellow, violet, rose and aqua. The colored jacket allows for easy visual identification of the cables. The standard jacket color will be determined by the dominant fiber type in the cable and will use the standard part numbers shown here.
