Flat Fiber Ribbon Fiber Optic Cable

Product Definition and Technical Overview

The Flat Fiber Ribbon Fiber Optic Cable is a high-density optical transmission medium where multiple individual fibers are bonded together in a flat, organized row. This ribbon core is protected by a layer of premium aramid yarn, which serves as a force-reinforced unit to provide the necessary tensile strength for installation and long-term operation. To meet diverse safety and environmental requirements, the cable is finished with a robust outer sheath made of either Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) or Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) material.

Key Features and Core Advantages

High-Integrated Ribbon Design: The flat geometry organizes fibers into groups, allowing for a significantly smaller cable diameter compared to traditional loose-tube configurations.

Aramid Reinforcement: The inclusion of high-modulus aramid yarn provides the Flat Fiber Ribbon Fiber Optic Cable with the strength required for vertical and horizontal pulls without risking damage to the glass cores.

Environmental Resilience: The outer jacket is formulated to be corrosion-resistant, waterproof, and UV-resistant, ensuring stable performance in various indoor and protected outdoor environments.

Safety Compliance: With LSZH jacket options, the cable meets international flame-retardant standards (IEC 60332-1 or IEC 60332-3C), making it suitable for high-occupancy buildings and transit systems.

Technical Specifications

Fiber Type: Compatible with Single-mode (G.652D, G.657A) and Multimode (OM1 to OM4) fibers.

Reinforcement Unit: Multi-strand Aramid Yarn.

Outer Sheath Materials: PVC (meeting UL OFNR/OFNP requirements) or LSZH (Low-Smoke, Halogen-Free).

Mechanical Standards: Fully compliant with YD/T 1258.5, ICEA-596, GR-409, and IEC 60794-2-30.

Temperature Range: Designed for reliable operation in standard telecommunication environment temperatures.
