MassLink™ with FlexRibbon™ Technology provides a compact outside plant cable design that contains 576 to 864 bend insensitive fibers. By using FlexRibbon technology, ribbons are rolled up and packed together in small diameter 144 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 144 fiber sub units for easier routing
• Significantly smaller diameter and lighter weight cables allow for easier installation and the use of smaller ducts
• 18% smaller diameter (33% volume reduction) over traditional ribbon designs
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
