RollR® Central Core Rollable Ribbon Fiber Optic Microcable
The RollR CC Rollable Ribbon (RR) Microcable features 144 or 288 optical fibers in a gel-free, central core cable cable design optimized for micro-duct installations. The cable features rollable ribbons, Lightera’ newest optical fiber ribbon design. To form these ribbons, individual 250 μm fibers are partially bonded to each other at predetermined points which enables the benefit of mass fusion splicing capabilities in a significantly smaller cable diameter to maximize fiber density in congested networks. The cable design features a central tube construction with helical strength elements for improved handling and installation capabilities in air assist installation deployments.
Specifically designed for air-blown installation using microduct systems, the rifled outer jacket cable reduces cable friction during installation to maximize installation lengths.

Why the RollR Central Core Rollable Ribbon Fiber Optic Microcable?
Every element of the RollR Central Core RR Cable’s was designed to offer high fiber density while helping to speed of deployment. The rollable ribbon design helps users to achieve highly efficient and cost-effective mass fusion splicing along with easy individual fiber breakout. This capability helps to simplify installation and save on labor costs. In addition, the RollR Central Core RR Cable’s greater fiber density can help to expand the capacity of existing pathways using smaller, lower-cost duct systems.
The RollR Central Core RR Cable’s ribbons may be ‘rolled’ (compacted) and routed like individual fibers to facilitate use in smaller closures and splice trays.
In addition, the cable’s completely gel-free water-blocking design also helps to reduce the time required to prepare cable ends which can also help with reduced labor and splice costs. With its ability to maximize duct utilization, the RollR RR CC Cable is an excellent choice for connecting the next generation of fiber networks.
