Description
The 864 Fiber Multi-Tube Ribbon Fiber Optic Cable is a high-capacity outdoor cable engineered for long-haul, metro, and FTTx backbone networks where maximum fiber density and reliable performance are essential. Featuring eight SZ-stranded loose tubes, each containing 108-fiber ribbon stacks, the cable enables efficient mass fusion splicing to reduce installation time and labor costs. A non-metallic GFRP central strength member, water-blocking materials, and a durable HDPE outer jacket provide excellent tensile strength, moisture protection, and environmental resistance for duct, aerial, and direct burial installations. Despite its ultra-high fiber count, the compact cable structure maximizes duct utilization while delivering dependable long-term optical performance.

FAQ
Q1. Why does this cable use 108-fiber ribbon stacks?
The 108-fiber ribbon design significantly increases fiber density while supporting mass fusion splicing, allowing faster installation and reduced labor costs for large-scale deployments.
Q2. What installation methods are supported?
The cable is suitable for duct, aerial, and direct burial installations, making it adaptable to a wide range of outdoor network environments.
Q3. What is the benefit of the SZ-stranded multi-tube design?
The SZ-stranded structure improves cable flexibility, reduces torsional stress during installation, and allows easier mid-span access for maintenance and branching.
Q4. Which fiber standard does the cable use?
The cable utilizes G.657.A1 bend-insensitive single-mode fiber, providing excellent bending performance while remaining fully compatible with G.652.D transmission systems.
Q5. Can the cable specifications be customized?
Yes. Fiber count, fiber type, cable markings, jacket material, reel length, and other construction details can be customized to meet specific project requirements.
