• Access Ready Construction (ARC) Completely gel-free construction with easy-to-access and identify optical fiber circuits.
• SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®) optical fiber technology Easily ribbonized for mass fusion splicing. SWR® is compacted and routed like individual fibers. Ideal for organizing slack loops in splice enclosures as there is no preferential bending of ribbon.
• Significantly higher fiber density compared to traditional ribbon cables Offers ability to expand capacity of existing pathways and allows use of smaller, lower cost duct systems.
• Smaller cable diameters and cable weights Means longer reel lengths that allow for lower scrap rates, easier handling of reels at the site and reduced transportation costs.
• Completely dry water-blocking technology Reduces time required to prep cable-end and mid-span access resulting in labor savings.
• Compact ribbon bundles Reduces enclosure/splice tray size requirements allowing for smaller telecommunications space allocation.
• Armored and non-armored packages Supports all the standard cable deployment options typically found in the OSP environment including, duct, direct buried and aerial.
• Fully qualified to Telcordia GR-20 Provides assurance that the cable will support optical fiber network transport functions now and into the future.
