Slotted Core Cable

The document discusses optical fiber ribbons and slotted core cables. It provides details on the structure, materials, and specifications of 4-fiber and 8-fiber ribbons. It also shows how ribbons can be accommodated into slotted core cables to enable high-density optical fiber cables with increasing numbers of fibers.

Optical Fiber SM332

Outline Cross Sectional View


FURUKAWA optical fiber SM332 is a matched
cladding design single mode fiber made of
synthesized silica with a coating of 245µm Core
mechanically strippable acrylate.
SM332 is designed to minimize the dispersion
in the 1310nm wavelength region as well as 1550nm Cladding
region.
FURUKAWA optical fiber SM332 is manufactured
by Vapor phase Axial Deposition (VAD), which
can provide the excellent optical, mechanical and Primary Coating (Inner layer)
geometrical characteristics.
