Now available in Base-8 cable configurations up to 144 fibers, and Base-12 configurations up to 216 fibers. MicroCore 2.0 can support all of your high-density network needs, offering the highest density 2.0 mm fiber cables available. Constructed of the highest quality materials to exacting industry standards, these small-diameter cables provide the solution sought out by today’s structured cabling professionals. Each sub- cable is independently qualified and is suitable for individual routing paths within the rack/panel architecture. This enables a flexibility of design and deployment not available in comparable high- density designs. Designed for direct termination and supportive of both single-fiber and multifiber architectures, this cable family should serves as the backbone to any deployed system. Cables are constructed with AFL MicroCore technology consistent with a long line of market leading designs. Applications • Headend termination to a fiber "backbone" • Termination of fiber rack systems • Multifloor deployment where select fibers are used at each floor • Intra-building "backbones" • MTP/MPO or MTP to break-out terminations Features • 8-fiber sub-units with 16-144 fibers • 12-fiber sub-units with 24-216 fibers • Plenum flame-rated jacket • All aramid tensile strength members within sub-units Cable Components Current 3.0 Sub-unitized Cable in Tray 120 x 72ct cables in standard 4"X 12" tray Next Generation Sub-unitized MicroCore 2.0 Cable in Tray 250 x 72ct cables in standard 4"X 12" tray Current 3.0 Sub-unitized Cable in Tray 120 x 72ct cables in standard 4"X 12" tray Next Generation Sub-unitized MicroCore 2.0 Cable in Tray 250 x 72ct cables in standard 4"X 12" tray 30% Reduction in 72ct Cable Diameter Yields 100% Increase in Pathway Capacity 27% Reduction in 72ct Cable Diameter Yields Over 100% Increase in Pathway Capacity aramid yarn colored fiber outer jacket 8/12 fiber sub-unit 2.0 mm 16, 24, 36 and 48 fiber sub-unit outer jacket 48/72 fiber center member flexible outer jacket sub-unit ripcord 72/96 fiber center member flexible outer jacket sub-unit ripcord 96/144-9 fiber center member flexible outer jacket sub-unit ripcord ripcord aramid yarn colored fiber outer jacket 8/12 fiber sub-unit 2.0 mm 16, 24, 36 and 48 fiber sub-unit outer jacket 48/72 fiber center member flexible outer jacket sub-unit ripcord 72/96 fiber center member flexible outer jacket sub-unit ripcord 96/144-9 fiber center me flexible outer jacket sub-unit ripcord ripcord aramid yarn colored fiber outer jacket er sub-unit 0 mm 16, 24, 36 and 48 fiber sub-unit outer jacket 72/96 fiber center member flexible outer jacket sub-unit ripcord 96/144-9 fiber center member flexible outer jacket sub-unit ripcord ripcord aramid yarn colored fiber outer jacket 8/12 fiber sub-unit 2.0 mm 16, 24, 36 and 48 fiber sub-unit outer jacket center member flexible outer jacket sub-unit ripcord 72/96 fiber center member flexible outer jacket sub-unit ripcord 96/144-9 fiber center member flexible outer jacket sub-unit ripcord ripcord © 2013, AFL, all rights reserved.
