TECH INFO
Ribbon Locate cables are designed to offer low resistivity (less than
10 Ohms per mile) and are for use in long distance remote location
systems. These cables make use of a highly flexible tube that contains up
to 18 ribbons, each containing 12 optical fibers. PFM™ gel is used in the
tube to reduce the time needed to access the fibers. The core is wrapped
with a water-swellable yarns to block water flow. A copper metallic
locatable tape is applied and then encased in a black UV resistant outer
jacket of HDPE. Ripcords are included under the tape for ease of access
to the core tube.
