Indoor/Outdoor Flame-Retardant RIO Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC) with SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR)
Features:
- Collapsible ribbon reduces size of cable compared to other encapsulated or pliable ribbon technologies
- High-density 200 μm diameter fibers with 250 μm ribbon pitch separation for splice compatibility with 250 μm diameter fiber ribbon
- Design optimizes the fiber packing density making WTC/SWR cables the smallest ribbon cables without compromising the robustness of the cable
- Completely gel-free for reduced time to access fiber and prep for splicing
- Small-diameter cable allows more optical fibers to be placed into crowded or limited-space pathways
- Water-blocked core
- Lightweight for easy handling in the field compared to traditional cables
- Suitable for pulling and jetting installations
Applications:
- Data Center Inter-building Connections
- Blowing or jetting in conduit
Flame-retardant (FR) RIO Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC) with SpiderWeb Ribbon (SWR) is a high-density fiber optic ribbon cable intended for indoor/outdoor network applications where riser-rated products are required. The FR RIO-WTC-SWR incorporates the leading-edge SpiderWeb Ribbon technology in a robust, flame-retardant cable package that can be used within buildings. With the core water-blocking feature, it can also be routed outside provided the cable is housed within covered pathway spaces including duct-banks and cable trays.
SWR is a bonded fiber ribbon design allowing for either a highly efficient ribbon splicing or an individual fiber breakout splicing process. This flexibility allows a single cable design to cover diverse applications from access networks to high-fiber count mass fusion splicing. With the ability to roll and conform, the SWR provides ultra-high density packaging in cable form.
The FR RIO-WTC-SWR product set is non-armored and meets Riser, CPR, and Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSZH) standards using Fujikura 200 μm SR15E-P200 fiber (144F to 6912F) with 200 μm pitch constructions. Also available with 250 μm pitch constructions. The 250 μm ribbon pitch allows simple mass-fusion splicing with traditional 250 μm diameter ribbon fibers.
