Overview MassLink™ with FlexRibbon™ Technology provides an ultracompact outside plant cable design that contains up to 1728 bend insensitive fibers, small enough to fit into a 1.25” duct. By using FlexRibbon technology, ribbons are rolled up and packed together in small diameter 288 fiber sub units. While FlexRibbon™ provides high packing density, these 250 ųm fiber ribbons still provide the advantages of mass fusion splicing Ultra Compact Design • FlexRibbons™ are rolled up into compact 288 fiber sub units for easier routing • Significantly smaller diameter and lighter weight cables allow for easier installation and the use of smaller ducts • With a 21% smaller diameter (38% volume reduction) over traditional ribbon designs, a 1728 dielectric cable can be installed in a 1.25” duct which maximizes duct space utilization
FlexRibbon Technology
• Extremely flexible ribbons can be rolled up for high packing densities or laid flat for ribbon splicing
• 12 fiber ribbons are compatible with mass fusion heat strippers, cleavers, and splice machines
• Uses standard 250 um coated bend-insensitive fiber (ITU G657. A1 or A2)
Performance
• Uses full dry water blocking technology in the tubes and cable core for easy closure preparation and termination
• Tested in accordance with ICEA 640 and with relevant EIA/ TIA-455 series FOTPs for fiber optic cables
