Packaging process for ribbon optical cables
Key steps include segregation of ribbon groups, installation of ribbons into protective mesh, tube or sheathing, and matching splice tray capacity with ribbon group(s). Matching Splice Multiples Preferred practice is to route complete bundle groups to trays for splicing. Ribbon cables offer higher fiber counts and greater fiber density than any other cable construction designed for the outside plant (OSP), four times the highest-fiber-count loose tube cable. By using FlexRibbon technology, ribbons are rolled up and packed toget er in small diameter 288 fiber sub units. Compared to traditional single-fiber splicing, ribbonizing significantly reduces time and labor. Sumitomo Electric Lightwave's Freeform Ribbon™ allows for dense fiber packing and a small cable diameter with a non-preferential bend axis thereby increasing density in space-constrained applications.
