STL Ribbon Lite | Multitube Gel Filled Ribbon Armored OFC  | STL G.652 D

STL RIBBON-LITE 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. RIBBON-LITE comes with gel free technology; the buffer tubes contain water-blocking gel and are surrounded with water-swellable tape and yarns to prevent water ingress in the cable. The buffer tubes are stranded around the central strength member using reverse oscillation stranding method forming the cable core. Corrugated Steel Tape armor surrounds the cable core with a thermoplastic jacket placed over the armor layer making the cable robust and installation friendly.
