AFLglobal.com | 800.235.3423 continued Sub-unitized Premise MicroCore ® 3.0 Base-12 Sub-unitized Premise MicroCore Cables are ideal for 12-144 fiber high performance premise installations where space is a premium. The round cross-sectional building blocks combine to provide a tight package, while enabling high density architecture. Each 12-fiber sub-unit consists of 250 μm colored fibers and aramid strength members enclosed by a high performance jacket. The sub-units are designed to be independently routed in FMS systems. Applications • In-building cable runs where space is a premium • Trunk applications where flexibility and small required bend radius are needed to route cable. • High density cable areas like Data Centers and Central Offices • Lower cost cable runs where easy handling of tight buffered fibers not needed because cable will be spliced to factory terminated pigtails • Trunk cables where MTP can be directly terminated on subunits Cable Components Features • High performance PVC or LSZH outer jackets available • No preferential bend typically found in stacked ribbon designs • Small diameter/superior bend performance • Aramid tensile strength members within sub-units • Sub-units are suitable for direct termination with round boot MTP aramid yarn colored fiber outer jacket 12 fiber sub-unit, Q E 24, 36 and 48 fiber, Q E sub-unit outer jacket aramid yarn for pull strength ripcord 24-60 fiber center member outer jacket sub-unit 72 fiber, Q E center member outer jacket sub-unit ripcord 96 fiber, Q E center member outer jacket sub-unit ripcord 144-9 fiber, Q E center member outer jacket sub-unit ripcord 144 fiber center member outer jacket sub-unit ripcord ripcord Key: Q=Plenum, E=LSZH A © 2006, AFL, all rights reserved.
