Experience efficient, high-performance Gel-Free Single Jacket Ribbon OFC

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.

Unitube Gel Free Single Jacket Armored Ribbon OFC

STL RapidRibbon Unitube Single Jacket Steel Tape Armored Cable combines robust performance for duct as well as direct installations with the productivity of high-count mass fusion splicing. A corrugated steel tape armor surrounds the buffer tube, sheathed in a thermoplastic jacket with embedded steel strength members placed diagonally opposite the armor layer, making the cable robust and installation friendly.

Multitube Gel Free Single Jacket Armored Ribbon OFC

STL RapidRibbon Multitube Steel Tape Armored Cable combines robust performance for duct installations with the productivity of high-count mass fusion splicing. Twelve optical fibers are arranged into ribbon units by placing the fibers in a flat array of color-coded fibers bonded together by a UV-curable acrylate matrix. Corrugated steel tape armor surrounds the cable core with a thermoplastic jacket placed over the armor layer, making the cable robust and installation friendly.
