Lightera Introduces 11.4mm Diameter 864 Fiber Cable to Boost Fiber Capacity in

RollR® 200 864 Fiber Rollable Ribbon Microcable delivers outstanding fiber density and installation efficiency

Lightera, a leading innovator in optical fiber solutions, announces the RollR® 200 864 Fiber Rollable Ribbon Microcable. With an ultra-compact 11.4mm diameter, this latest member of the RollR microcable family is designed specifically to fit seamlessly into standard 14mm inner diameter (ID) microducts.

Using Lightera’s field-proven rollable ribbon technology enables fast and reliable mass fusion splicing and simplifies installation processes, increasing operational efficiency and scalability in high-density environments.

Key Features and Benefits

• High Fiber Density: Accommodates 864 fibers in a compact 11.4mm cable, for
  excellent duct utilization.
• Microduct Optimization: Precisely engineered for 14mm ID microducts, ideal for urban
  and space-constrained deployments.
• Rollable Ribbon Design: Speeds up deployment with reliable mass fusion splicing,
  significantly reducing labor time and cost.
• Installation Capability: Specifically designed for air-blown installation in microduct
  systems, the rifled outer jacket reduces installation friction to increase installation
  lengths.
• Future-Ready Infrastructure: Supports next-generation bandwidth and evolving
  communication technologies.

“At a time when network demands are rapidly evolving, the RollR 200 864 Fiber microcable represents a major improvement in fiber deployment efficiency,” said Michel Gomez, Outside Plant Cable Product Manager for Lightera. “By delivering 864 fibers in an ultra-compact 11.4mm design, we’re enabling our customers to increase duct efficiency, reduce installation complexity, and future-ready their infrastructure for the data-driven world ahead.”

As networks scale to accommodate increasing connectivity needs, the RollR 200 864 Fiber Rollable Ribbon Microcable provides a high-performance, space-saving solution that empowers operators to expand fiber capacity without compromise.
