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
All-Dielectric Strength Elements:
• Jacket can be removed from the end in a single step
• Mid span access is safer and easier
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
• Uncoupled 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 TelcordiaGR-20 & ICEA 640 and is tested in accordance with relevant EIA/TIA-455 series FOTPs for fiber optic cables
• RDUP listed (tested in accordance with PE-90)
Registered Supplier:
• ISO 9001, ISO 14001, TL 9000, and OHSAS 18001
