The cable consists of a single buffer tube containing a stack of up to eighteen 12-fiber ribbons wrapped within a water-swellable foam tape and surrounded by a second water-swellable tape. 288 singlemode fibres for high density data center distribution applications. ach ribbon shall have its own sub-unit tube for easy handling and management. Providing up to 216 fibers in a compact design, the enhanced coupling features ensure the ribbon stack and cable act as one unit, providing long-term reliability in aerial, duct and. Offers up to 288 core with different cable structure. Ribbon cables are smaller in size and weight and generally easier to handle than comparable individual fiber based. The structure design principle of manufacturing layer-stranded fiber optic ribbon cable, through the selection of fiber optic ribbon sleeves of different materials, the design and performance comparison of different sleeve sizes, and related tests, it is verified that the use of fiber optic ribbon.
