1 FLAME RETARDANT RIBBONIZED Applications Inter-equipment connections NEBS applications Features/Benefits Color coded fibers Suitable for use with standard ribbon connectors Half-inch minimum bend radius Tight center-to-center tolerances Optional identification printing available OFNR Rated A flame retardant jacket was developed by CDT for applications requiring ribbonized fiber that is to be selfextinguishing. This jacket maintains the small size, flexibility, and the minimum bend radius needed for applications where the ribbon is utilized within the tight spaces of switching equipment. These cables are suitable in applications with NEBS flammability requirements. Options Available in 50 µm, 62.5 µm, and single-mode 2 to 12 fiber, contact CDT for other fiber counts Performance Contains Corning InfiniCor Performance specifiable for Ethernet up to 10Gps plus TM CORNING InfiniCor Outer Jacket Ribbon 28
