Description<br />
AT&T AccuRibbon® cable is a proven AT&T ribbon cable<br />
design. It provides excellent optical, mechanical, and environmental<br />
performance in a compact design. In combination with<br />
the AT&T LXE (Lightguide Express Entry) sheath family, it facilitates<br />
mid-span entry for branching applications such as fiber to<br />
the subscriber.<br />
Design<br />
The AccuRibbon Cable core consists of ribbons of 12 fibers bonded<br />
together with a UV-curable matrix material. Up to 18 ribbons<br />
can be contained in a core tube, for a total of 216 fibers. Each fiber<br />
position is guaranteed, allowing optimization of branching plans.<br />
The cable core is filled with a water blocking compound.<br />
The ribbon design provides large fiber counts within a small cable<br />
diameter. The cable core contains no metallic members or<br />
strength members, so the fiber transmission medium is protected<br />
from environmental effects and abusive installation techniques.<br />
Installation<br />
As a result of its small diameter, the AccuRibbon Cable design<br />
improves installation productivity, especially for longer cable<br />
lengths. End preparation for splicing is simplified, since any<br />
fiber may be accessed once the sheath is removed. There are<br />
no additional mechanical structures to remove.<br />
Ribbon and <strong>Fiber</strong> Identification<br />
The fibers within each ribbon are uniquely identified with the<br />
standard fiber color code. Each ribbon is redundantly identified<br />
using both number (1-18), and a two-letter color abbreviation<br />
(ex., BL=Blue). The ribbon identification is printed directly on<br />
the ribbon structure, and may be used for mid-span or end<br />
entry identification.<br />
Sheath Types<br />
The AccuRibbon core may be combined with any AT&T fiber<br />
optic cable sheath. The sheath options LXE-Metallic (LXE-ME),<br />
LXE-Dielectric (LXE-RL). AccuRibbon is also available in a<br />
Dielectric Crossply sheath for riser applications and in an<br />
armored Hostile / Hazardous Environment design.<br />
