Advantages of ribbon optical cable structure
Ribbon cables provide clear benefits, including high fiber density, high flexibility, and low fiber loss: Fusing fibers into a ribbon allows many strands to be packed closely together, enabling immense bandwidth potential through many parallel fibers. For many years, designers and installers have been reluctant to specify ribbon fiber optic cable in the LAN and Data Center because 12-fiber ribbon field terminations were limited. But with the introduction of innovations such as ribbon-splitting tools, ribbon-furcation kits, and field-installable. Ribbon fibre is a catalyst for reducing installation time significantly because it allows simultaneous splicing of 12 fibres, resulting in remarkable efficiency. Unlike traditional loose-tube or tight-buffered cables, ribbon cables bundle multiple fibers together in parallel alignment.
