Corning UltraRibbon™ Riser Gel-Free Cables continue the innovative breakthrough in indoor cable technology with a new generation of high-fiber-count single tube cables. Providing up to 432 fibers in a rugged, compact design, the cable maximizes the use of critical duct space and can easily fit in 1.25-in inner duct.
A specially formulated flame-retardant jacket allows this cable to be used in indoor general purpose horizontal and riser applications.
The cable consists of a single buffer tube containing a stack of up to eighteen 24-fiber ribbons. The 24-fiber ribbons can be easily separated by hand into two 12-fiber ribbons. The 12-fiber ribbons have readily identifiable ribbon IDs, fiber colors, and precise geometries that result in excellent mass-splicing yields.
