Plenum Central Tube Flexible Ribbon Optical Cable: 216 x OS2
A fiber optic flexible ribbon is comprised of 12Ó fibers coated with a dual acrylate coating system. The fibers are contained in a peelable UV curable matrix material, and the space-saving flexible ribbon structure is designed to allow easy separation of the fibers from the matrix in preparation for splicing, or termination to a MPO connector. Ribbons are identified per TIA/EIA-598, and are stacked in a dry central tube, surrounded by two layers of flexible strength members, and an extruded cable jacket, providing tensile strength and crush resistance. The outer jacket material is plenum-grade thermoplastic.

Features
Step-index G.657.A1 single-mode optical fiber, Protective UV cured acrylate ribbon coating in a flexible structure. Every fiber is subjected to a 0.7 Gpa (100 kpsi) minimum proof stress per TIA/EIA FOTP-31
- Peelable UV curable matrix material
- Ribbons are easily separated for single fiber splicing if needed.
- Two layers of flexible strength members
- Qualified to ICEA S-83-596 and Telcordia GR-409
Benefits
- Easily interfaced to MT and MPO based connectors, as well as todayÕs newest ribbon connectors.
- Mass fusion splicing ribbon cable enables faster project completion and reduced labor costs.
- On 144F cables, mass fusion splicing 12F-to-12F requires 92% fewer splices than single fiber-to-fiber splicing.
- A single fiber holder can also be used in the mass splicer; no need to worry about multiple machines if a mass splicer is on hand.
- Cable design offers excellent mechanical performance with superior crush and flex ratings.
- Country of Origin: U.S.A.
