STL RapidRibbon Single Jacket Ribbon Cable integrates robust performance with the efficiency of high-count mass fusion splicing for aerial, direct buried and duct installations. Twelve optical fibers, color-coded and bonded with a UV-curable acrylate matrix, offer a streamlined solution. Employing gel-free technology, the buffer tubes, with water-swellable yarns, are shielded by water-swellable tape to stop water ingress. The reverse oscillation stranding method enhances flexibility and durability, forming the cable core around the central strength member. To provide additional protection, STL RapidRibbon is also available with a robust corrugated steel tape armor that envelops the cable core, and a thermoplastic jacket is then applied over this armor layer. This proven design not only enhances the cable's durability but also simplifies installation, making it a dependable choice for a wide range of applications. STL RapidRibbon excels in demanding environments and outside plant applications, providing a reliable, scalable solution in a compact form.
