Smaller footprint cable gives more advantages for cost and energy saving

If you're unsure about whether to use 200μm fiber for your application, we encourage you to take a look at this brochure. It provides a brief explanation of the reasons why fiber optic cables with 200μm fibers are the ideal choice for your needs.

A new preconnected ultra-high multi-core (UHFC) fiber optic cable developed to reduce installation time in data centers. The cable consists of a thin 3456-fiber optical cable made of 200-μm Freeform Ribbon fiber and a slotted core.

Structure, characteristics, and workability of small-diameter 6912-core cable using 200-μm Freeform Ribbon fiber for data center applications. 200-μm Freeform Ribbon has alternating longitudinal and transverse fiber merging and branching, resulting in high fiber density and the ability to perform mass fusion splicing.

A newly designed ultra-high-density (UHD) microduct optical cable to be installed into microducts with airblowing technique. The UHD microduct cable employs Freeform Ribbon, in which fibers meet and split out in turn in longitudinal and transverse directions, thus allowing high fiber density and mass fusion splicing.

Thinner optical cables are required for data center networks to meet the increasing demand on communication traffic. For these cables thinner optical fibers are essential, and one of the concerns in reducing the optical fiber diameter is the is the increase in attenuation by microbending in the cabling process.
