AccuTube+ Rollable Ribbon (RR) in Loose Tube Cable
The AccuTube+ Rollable Ribbon (RR) Cable features 432, 576, 864, or 1728 optical fibers in a gel‐free, loose tube cable design. This 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.

Features
- Outstanding carrying capacity for ultra-high-density applications
- Rugged loose tube design features Lightera rollable ribbon technology in individual polypropylene buffer tubes
- Easily identifiable ribbon print marking using blocks and bars
- Meets the mechanical and optical requirements of Telcordia GR-20 Issue 4 and ANSI/ICEA S-87-640 for outside plant (OSP) fiber optic cables
Benefits
- Ribbon design enables smaller cable outer diameter (OD) and reduced weight versus comparable flat ribbon designs
- Rollable ribbon structure helps facilitate efficient mass fusion splicing and easy access to individual fibers for mid-span splice access
- Loose tube design enables rugged installation performance and easier ribbon access versus alternative rollable ribbon cable designs
- Gel-free design helps facilitate faster cable preparation
- Robustness suitable for OSP design
Eco Friendly Benefits
- On high fiber count cables, rollable ribbon cables can cut shipping related CO2 emissions by half versus flat ribbon cables.
- Rollable Ribbon cable reduce the carbon footprint by being on smaller reels and requiring less material manufacture.
Product Description
The AccuTube+ Rollable Ribbon (RR) Cable features 864 or 1728 optical fibers in a gel‐free, loose tube cable design. This 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.
Why the Accutube+ Rr Cable?
With up to 1728 fibers in a single cable, the AccuTube+ RR Cable offers exceptional carrying capacity for high-growth, high-bandwidth applications. This cable’s rollable ribbon design helps users 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 AccuTube+ RR Cable’s significantly greater fiber density can help to expand the capacity of existing pathways using smaller, lower-cost duct systems. For example, the 1728 fiber count cables can be routed in existing 1 1/4-inch pathways while the 3456 fiber count cables are suited for 2-inch pathways.
The AccuTube+ RR Cable’s ribbons may be “rolled” (compacted) and routed like individual fibers to facilitate use in smaller closures and splice trays.
In addition, this cable’s completely gel-free water-blocking design also helps to reduce the time required to prepare cable ends and achieve mid-span access which can also help with reduced labor and splice costs.
With its ability to maximize duct utilization, the AccuTube+ RR Cable is an excellent choice for connecting very large fiber distribution hubs. It is also highly suitable for use in data centers, FTTx and access networks.
