AFLglobal.com | 800.235.3423 1 FIBER OPTIC CABLE Fiber Optic Cable The Ultra HD MicroCore Riser fiber optic cable is the latest development in AFL’s sub- unitized MicroCore cable family that uses SpiderWeb Ribbon ® (SWR ® ) technology. Designed to support high fiber density deployments in data center and central office installation environments, the ultra HD sub-unit designs optimize splicing efficiency when interconnected with AFL’s Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC). With continued requirements for higher bandwidth, higher fiber density cabling products are critical to support that demand. Ultra HD MicroCore cable designs feature 72-fiber and 144-fiber sub-units that result in maximum fiber counts up to 864 and 1,728 respectively. The cable consists of an OFNR/FT4 (UL1666) flame-rated outer jacket with an installation tension rating of 150 lbs., qualified to meet and exceed the requirements of the latest Telcordia GR-409-CORE inside plant cabling requirements. Ultra HD MicroCore ® Riser Fiber Optic Cable Features • SpiderWeb Ribbon Collapsible ribbon reduces size of cable compared to other encapsulated or pliable ribbon technologies • OFNR Riser Rating Can be routed within designated riser spaces within build structures • Small Diameter Because of the smaller diameter, more optical fibers can be placed into crowded or limited-space pathways SWR Technology 12F SWR Multiple 12F SWR subunits 72F OR 144F subunits depending on cable fiber count 432F (72F Subunits) 576F (144F Subunits) SWR bundle unit Strength member (FRP) Outer Sheath (FR-PVC) Ripcord SWR bundle unit Strength member (FRP) Outer Sheath (FR-PVC) Ripcord Cable Components continued A © 2018, AFL, all rights reserved.
