 7 Ribbon fiber optic cable Market – Global

7.1 Global Ribbon fiber optic cable Market Overview

The Ribbon fiber optic cable market has experienced high growth and adoption rate in the last few years
and is also expected to experience a significant growth and adoption rate in years to come. One of the
major reason for the high adoption of ribbon fiber optic cables are, it provides end-users ease of deployment

ES
along with proper cable management in an indoor location. Developing digital ecosystem and high growth
of data, as well as developing economies are providing ample opportunities for the players operating in the
global ribbon fiber optic cable market. Digital ecosystem creates a splurge of huge amounts of data transfer
that is possible only after the availability of higher bandwidths. Ribbon fiber optic cables on account of their

G
high coupling fiber cable capabilities become an ideal tool for data centers as well as limited space indoor
environment. Few players that are operating successfully in global ribbon fiber optic cable market space

 8.2 Single-mode Ribbon fiber optic cable

Overview

Single-mode ribbon fiber cable is a ribbon matrix which consists fiber cables made up of a single strand of
glass fiber whose diameter ranges from 8.3 – 10 microns and can facilitate only one medium of

ES
transmission. These fibers have a relatively slender diameter, which allows the only single mode to
transmit, typically 1310nm or 1550nm. These type of fiber provides a greater transmission rate and distance
of transmission which is up to 50 times more than multi-mode fibers. Ribbon of single-mode fibers are most
costly and age generally used for transmission of data over a long distance. Due to their small diameter, of

G
the core results in eliminating any distortion thus providing least attenuation and highest speed of
transmission. These type of ribbon fiber optic cables are therefore largely implemented for outdoor
transmission.

E

Global single-mode ribbon fiber optic cable market accounted for US$ XX Mn in the year 2016 and it is
PL

expected to grow at a CAGR XX% during the forecast period 2017 – 2025, to reach US$ XX Mn in the year
2025. Single-mode ribbon optic cables are generally used for outdoor transmission of data. Outdoor
application cables typically have to endure harsher conditions than indoor applications thus resulting in
M

armored coating. This makes the cable less flexible thus owing to limitations of its usage. Thus the single-
mode ribbon fiber cables accounted for a meager share in the global ribbon fiber optic cable market.
Additionally, higher price range of ribbon cables over 24 fiber count is further hampering the market for
