Robust high-count ribbon cables for 12-fiber “mass” fusion splicing productivity & standards<br />
based performance.<br />
<strong>Draka</strong>’s ezRIBBON <strong>Loose</strong> <strong>Tube</strong> cables combine robust performance for aerial lashed, duct, and direct buried instal-<br />
lations with the productivity of high-count mass fusion splicing. These ezRIBBON cables utilize 12-fiber ribbons in<br />
stranded loose tubes from 288 to 864 fibers.<br />
Like all ezRIBBON cables, these <strong>Loose</strong> <strong>Tube</strong> versions combine adhesive armor, flexible tubes, swellable waterblocking,<br />
and exclusive ColorLock ® fiber coating to make ezRIBBON the easiest ribbon cables to access and prep.<br />
Features & Benefits<br />
Easy Cable Entry & Preparation<br />
• Adhesive bond armor greatly improves mid-entry<br />
• Ripcord speeds cable entry & outer jacket removal<br />
• Compatible with ribbon tools & methods (heat stripping, mechanical peel & mass splicing)<br />
