Corning RocketRibbon Cable-250 288-Fiber Dielectric Single-Mode OS2 Fiber Optic Cable

Corning RocketRibbon Cable-250 288-Fiber Dielectric Single-Mode OS2 Fiber Optic Cable

Corning RocketRibbon® Cable-250 with FastAccess® Technology represent a truly innovative breakthrough in outside plant cable technology. Providing up to 864 fibers in a compact design and long-term reliability in aerial, duct, and direct-buried applications.

 The FastAccess® jacket reduces access times and limits overall risk of inadvertent fiber damage by reducing the need for sharp access tools. Dielectric or steel strength members located 180 degrees apart under the cable jacket provides tensile and anti-buckling strength. The cable jacket includes enhanced cable markings with key cable specifications. The 12-fiber ribbons have readily identifiable ribbon IDs, fiber colors and geometries that result in excellent mass-splicing yields. Central stack variants provide up to 432 fibers, a single stack of 12 and/or 24-fiber ribbons surrounded by a protective foam and water-blocking elements ensure the cable acts as one unit. Stranded variants provide up to 864 fibers, with up to 6 subunits containing stacks of 144 fibers that can be easily routed directly into hardware without furcation. Each subunit is finger-peelable and contains two water-blocking yarns that act as ripcords, enabling rapid access to the ribbon stack for faster termination. The conventional 12-fiber ribbon is maintained, ensuring robustness and installer familiarity.
