Fiber Optic Cable 1 Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC) with SpiderWeb Ribbon ® (SWR ® ) – 250 μm Fiber/250 μm Pitch The 250 μm Fiber/250 μm Pitch Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC), with SpiderWeb Ribbon ® (SWR ® ), is an ultra-high density outside plant cable designed specifically for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) or access markets. It is compliant with the latest issue of the outside plant cable standard, Telcordia GR-20. With an ultra-high density and a new ribbon technology called SpiderWeb Ribbon ® , WTC provides the smallest cable diameter and lowest weight, high-fiber count ribbon cable in the industry. WTC with SWR ® cables are available in fiber counts from 48 to 1,728. 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 for a single cable design to cover a diverse set of applications from access networks to high-fiber count mass fusion splicing. With the ability to roll and conform, the SWR ® provides for ultra-high density packaging in the WTC.
