STL Tech > Optical Networking > Optical Fibre Cable > Intermittently Bonded Ribbon > IBR Direct Buried
IBR Direct Buried: These cables combine robust performance across installations with high-count mass fusion splicing efficiency. Featuring color-coded ribbon units and gel-free technology ensure reliability against water ingress. UV-protected, lightweight, and flexible, they’re easy to handle and install, guaranteeing long-term reliability and optimizing installation time.
Steel Tape Armoured IBR

STL SM CELESTA® Armored Lite Gel Free Double Sheath Optical Fibre Cable combines robust performance for duct as well as direct installations with the productivity of high-count mass fusion splicing. The optical fibres are arranged into ribbon units by placing the fibres in a flat array of color-coded fibres partially bonded together by a UV-curable acrylate matrix. CELESTA comes with gel free technology; the inner sheath contains water swellable yarns and is surrounded with water-swellable tape to prevent water ingress in the cable. Corrugated Steel Tape armor surrounds the inner sheath making the cable robust and installation friendly.

  • Rapid Splicing Capability: Ribbon cable can be prepared and spliced much more rapidly.
  • Superior Splicing Yields:  Precise fiber and ribbon geometries result in excellent mass fusion splicing yields.
  • Compact Design: Lower diameter cable as compared to conventional flat ribbon.
  • Crush Resistance and Locating: Steel tape adds to crush resistance as well as can be used as a cable locator after installation.
  • User-Friendly Design: UV protected, flexible, lightweight, easy to handle, and install.
