And, in turn, wound on a central reinforcement element, surrounded by agamid reinforcement elements. All of this is wrapped in a jacket that forms a small cable, many fibers per cable. This type of cable is ideal for the installation of links outside the plant, since they can be made with loose tubes that are filled with absorbent gel or powder to prevent the fibers from being damaged by water. It can be used in installations in underground ducts, aerial installations or installations below ground, with direct buried cables.
Some cables for outdoor installation may be double-jacketed
With a metal jacket between them, which protects the cables from rodents that might chew on them, or, a layer of Kevlar, which gives them resistance when subjected to a pulling force from the jackets. Since the fibers only have one coating (buffer) of thin tight structure, they must be handled with care and protected from possible damage. In loose-structure cables that have single-mode fibers, connector zed fiber cables (pigtail) are usually spliced to the fibers for termination and protected at the splice closure. In the case of loose structure cables that have multimode fibers, the termination is done directly with a kit to protect the Fiber optic cable termination (breakout kit).), also called a fan-out kit, with which the fiber is dressed for its protection. The ribbon cable) is preferred when a small diameter cable with a large number of fibers per cable is needed.
This is the cable that has the most fibers in the smallest cable,
Since all the fibers are arranged in rows, inside ribbons that typically contain 12 fibers, and the ribbons are stacked one on top of the other. Not only is it the smallest cable with the most fibers, it is often the lowest cost cable. Usually, the 144 fibers only have a cross section of about 6mm and a jacket diameter of 13mm. Some cable designs use an “expansion core” that supports up to 6 of those 144 fiber optic ribbon splices, resulting in 864 fibers in the same cable.
As it is a cable for outside plant installations,
It is either filled with a water-blocking gel or made with water-blocking components. Another advantage of the ribbon cable (Some cable designs use an “expansion core” that supports up to 6 of those 144 fiber optic ribbon splices, resulting in 864 fibers in the same cable.

Another advantage of the ribbon cable (is filled with a water-blocking gel or is made with water-blocking components. Another advantage of the ribbon cables (ribbon) is those massive fiber optic splicers can splice a ribbon (12 fibers) simultaneously, making installation faster and easier. Pigtailed fiber cables from the ribbons are spliced to the cable for quick termination.
