Product Details

Features and Benefits:

Compact Design:
• Efficient packaging of higher fiber counts
• Lightweight and easy to handle during installation

Easily Removable Ribbon Matrix:
• Allows for ease of stripping and fiber breakout
• Improves mid-span strippability

Precision Ribbon Geometry: Time and labor savings during fiber splicing

Flexible Buffer Tube:
• Superior kink resistance
• Increased flexibility
• Facilitates route management in closures

Dry Water-Blocking Technology:
• Buffer tube and core are completely dry—no gel
• Permits rapid cable preparation and termination
• Water-blocking materials are easily removed

ezPrep® Corrugated Steel Armor:
• Provides additional mechanical protection
• Special coating reduces time and effort to remove jacket

Available Uncoupled or Coupled Designs:
• Coupled design (RCD product >48F) couples the ribbon stack with the cable which elimates the need for splice point coupling coils in aerial application
• Un-coupled design (RCU product) requires the use of coupling coils at the splice points in aerial applications to prevent fiber retraction in closures

Performance:
• Meets or exceeds the requirements of Telcordia GR-20 & ICEA 640 and is tested in accordance with relevant EIA/TIA-455 series FOTPs for fiber optic cables
• Tested in accordance with relevant EIA/TIA-455 series FOTPs for fiber optic cables
• Complies with RUS PE-90

Registered Supplier: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, TL 9000, and OHSAS 18001
