BundleCore 200 µm Rollable Ribbon Fiber Optic Cable

The BundleCore™ Rollable Ribbon Fiber Optic Cable features 1728, 3456, or 6912 optical fibers in a gel-free ribbon cable design. This cable features 200 μm rollable ribbons, the newest innovation in optical fiber ribbon design. This new technology allows the creation of ultra high-density, yet compact and lightweight cables. To form these ribbons, 12 individual 200 μm fibers are partially bonded to each other at predetermined intervals. Bundling thread is used to compile these fiber bundles into 144-fiber units to create the desired cable fiber count.

Why the BundleCore Rollable Ribbon Fiber Optic Cable?

With 1728 to 6912 fibers in a single cable, the BundleCore Rollable Ribbon 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 access to individual fibers. This capability helps to simplify installation and save on labor costs. In addition, the BundleCore Rollable Ribbon Cable provides one of the smallest cable diameters and lowest weights of any high-fiber count ribbon cable in the industry. This cable’s significantly greater fiber density can help to expand the capacity of existing pathways using smaller, lower-cost duct systems. For example, the 3456-fiber cable can be routed into existing 1 1/4” pathways. The BundleCore Rollable Ribbon 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 to help with reduced labor and splice costs. With its ability to maximize duct utilization, the BundleCore Rollable Ribbon Cable is an excellent choice for connecting very large fiber distribution hubs. It is also highly suitable for use in data center interconnects.

– Rollable Ribbon design enables smaller cable outer diameter and reduced weight versus comparable flat ribbon cable designs

– Rollable ribbon structure helps facilitate efficient mass fusion splicing and easy access to individual fibers for mid-span splice access

– Gel-free design helps promote faster cable preparation in the field
