UltraRibbon Indoor, Gel-Free, Interlocking Armored Cables, Riser

Corning UltraRibbon riser gel-free interlocking armored cables continue the innovative breakthrough in indoor cable technology with a new generation of high-fiber-count single tube cables. Encased in spirally wrapped aluminum interlocking armor for ruggedness and superior crush resistance, these cables are ideal for industrial and heavy traffic areas and installations requiring extra protection for optical cables. A specially formulated flame-retardant jacket allows this cable the flexibility to be used in indoor general purpose horizontal and riser applications. The cable consists of a single buffer tube containing a stack of up to eighteen 24-fiber ribbons. Available in fiber counts from 288 to 432, each 24-fiber ribbon can be easily separated by hand into two 12-fiber ribbons. The 12-fiber ribbons have readily identifiable ribbon IDs, fiber colors and geometries that result in excellent mass-splicing yields.
