Home / What are the characteristics of ribbon optical cables

A ribbon fiber optic cable is a specialized type of cable where multiple optical fibers (typically ranging from 4 to 24, with 12 being the most common) are laid out in a parallel, flat array. These fibers are bonded together with a matrix material, forming a thin, ribbon-like. For indoor designs, helically stranded strength elements provide tensile strengths of up to 600 pounds. The 12-fiber ribbons are readily accessible and identifiable with ribbon identification. Ribbon fibre is a catalyst for reducing installation time significantly because it allows simultaneous splicing of 12 fibres, resulting in remarkable efficiency.
