Description<br />
The ANTEC LightPath Ribbon <strong>Fiber</strong> Cable makes fiber splicing<br />
fast and easy. A small diameter cable with high fiber count capacity,<br />
this cable houses up to 216 fibers. The fibers are grouped<br />
together in 12-fiber flat ribbon matrixes, stacked and stranded<br />
within a single central buffer tube.<br />
Designed to resist environmental damage, the central buffer tube<br />
is filled with water blocking gel that resists and retards water<br />
migration which can adversely affect performance. For added<br />
protection, a corrugated steel armor over the central buffer tube<br />
guards the cable from rodents.<br />
The LightPath Ribbon <strong>Fiber</strong> Cable is reinforced with two steel<br />
wires, longitudinally laid 180° opposed along the steel armor,<br />
for tensile strength. Highly visible aramid ripcords, located by<br />
each steel wire, make cable entry quick and easy, so no special<br />
tools are required. A smooth black medium density<br />
polyethylene (MDPE) sheath is extruded over the armor and<br />
wires. LightPath Ribbon <strong>Fiber</strong> Cable is available in an alldielectric<br />
configuration for lashed aerial or duct installations.<br />
