Corning high-density gel-free cables offer the ultimate combination of fiber density and ease-of-use in extreme fiber count outside plant cabling. Providing fibers in an extreme density design, flexible subunits containing stacks of 288 fibers can be easily routed directly into hardware without furcation. Each subunit is also finger-peelable, enabling rapid access to the ribbon stack for faster termination. The conventional 12-fiber ribbon is maintained, ensuring robustness, installer familiarity and no change to the long established mass-fusion splicing process. Each individual ribbon within the subunit features a unique printed ID for fast, easy identification and efficient fiber splicing management.
