Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC) with SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®)
Product updated on August 14th, 2019
Description
Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC), with SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®), is an ultra-high density outside plant cable designed specifically for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) or access markets. It is compliant with the latest issue of the outside plant cable standard, Telcordia GR-20. With an ultra-high density and a new ribbon technology called SpiderWeb Ribbon®, WTC provides the smallest cable diameter and lowest weight, high-fiber count ribbon cable in the industry. WTC with SWR® cables are available in fiber counts from 144 to 3,456.
SWR® is a bonded fiber ribbon design allowing for either a highly efficient ribbon splicing or an individual fiber breakout splicing process. This flexibility allows for a single cable design to cover a diverse set of applications from access networks to high-fiber count mass fusion splicing. With the ability to roll and conform, the SWR® provides for ultra-high density packaging in the WTC.
Features & Benefits
- Access Ready Construction (ARC) - Completely gel-free construction with easy-to-access and identify optical fiber circuits.
- SpiderWeb Ribbon® (SWR®) optical fiber technology - Easily ribbonized for mass fusion splicing. SWR® is compacted and routed like individual fibers. Ideal for organizing slack loops in splice enclosures as there is no preferential bending of ribbon.
- Significantly higher fiber density compared to traditional ribbon cables Offers ability to expand capacity of existing pathways and allows use of smaller, lower cost duct systems.
- Smaller cable diameters and cable weights - Means longer reel lengths that allow for lower scrap rates, easier handling of reels at the site and reduced transportation costs.
- Completely dry water-blocking technology - Reduces time required to prep cable-end and mid-span access resulting in labor savings.
- Compact ribbon bundles - Reduces enclosure/splice tray size requirements allowing for smaller telecommunications space allocation.
- Armored and non-armored packages - Supports all the standard cable deployment options typically found in the OSP environment including, duct, direct buried and aerial.
- Fully qualified to Telcordia GR-20 - Provides assurance that the cable will support optical fiber network transport functions now and into the future.
