RPX® Long Span Ribbon Cable-250

Corning RPX Long Span ribbon cable is another innovative breakthrough in cable technology. Providing up to 144 fibers in a rugged, compact design, the coupling features ensure the ribbon stack and cable act as one unit, providing long-term reliability in aerial, and duct applications. The RPX cable is designed with one-step, easily accessible central cavity containing a ribbon stack of up to 144 fibers wrapped with a protective waterblocking tape. The ribbon stack consists of 24-fiber ribbons that can be easily separated by hand into 12-fiber ribbons. Dielectric strength members under the cable jacket provide tensile and anti-buckling strength. The cable is jacketed with a black, UV-resistant polyethylene sheath. The one-step cable access simplifies cable preparation work and eliminates the need for special tools in mid-span applications. Self-supporting capabilities up to 345 ft Span in NESC Heavy at 1 percent Install SAG; accompanied by simplified, smaller and easy to install hardware.
