CONSTRUCTION A ribbon is comprised of 12 optical fibers coated with a dual acrylate coating system. The fibers are contained in a peelable UV curable matrix material, and the ribbon structure is designed to allow easy separation of the fibers from the matrix in preparation for splicing or termination to a MTP connector. Aramid strength members are applied between the ribbon and the extruded cable jacket to provide tensile strength to crush resistance. The outer jacket material is plenum-grade thermoplastic. STANDARDS International IS0/IEC 11801 North American ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.3 FLAME RATING Berk-Tek optical fiber ribbon cables are plenum listed by Underwriters Labratories as Type OFNP/FT6. APPLICATIONS Berk-Tek optical fiber ribbon cables are ideal for use in Data Centers and SAN applications where high density connectivity is required. Berk-Tek optical fiber ribbon cables are intended for a wide variety of high speed data applications, including IEEE 802.3 FOIRL 10 Mb/s IEEE 802.3 10BASE-F 10 Mb/s IEEE 802.3 10BASE-SX/LX 1Gb/s IEEE 802.3 10BASE-X 10 Gb/s FDDI 100 Mb/s ATM 155 Mb/s 622 Mb/s 1.2-2.4 Gb/s Fibre Channel FC-PH 1.062 Gb/s FEATURES - Step-index, single-mode or graded index multimode optical fiber
