The STL RIBBON-LITE Multitube Single Jacket Cable combines robust performance for duct installations with high-count mass fusion splicing productivity. Twelve optical fibers are arranged in ribbon units as color-coded fibers bonded by a UV-curable acrylate matrix. With gel-free technology, the buffer tubes contain water-swellable yarns and tape to prevent water ingress. The tubes are stranded around the central strength member using reverse oscillation stranding, forming the cable core. This cable is ideal for high-growth, high-bandwidth communications applications like data centers and outdoor plant installations.
