Quick Facts
Ribbon stack comprised of 12-ber
ribbons helically rotated to create excess
ber length
Ribbon stack comprised of a
combination of 12-, 24-, and
36-ber ribbons helically
stranded in a central tube
Most widely deployed cable
design globally
* Corning’s proprietary binderless FastAccess® technolog refers to the combination of a Corning FastAccess technolog jacket with an innovative technolog used to bind cable construction through the
manufacturing process, eliminating the use of binder yarns and waterblocking tapes.
