Cablelite® 950-706 Optical Fiber Coating (Matrix Coating), UV Cure (1 kg) (Ground Shipping Only)
Cablelite® 950-706 Optical Fiber Ribbon Matrix Coating, UV Cure (1 kg)
Part Number: COV-950-706-1KG
The Cablelite® 950-706 is a UV-curable matrix coating specifically engineered for the production of optical fiber ribbons used in telecommunications and data communication cable systems. Recognized throughout the fiber optic industry, this material has become a widely adopted solution for ribbonizing optical fibers due to its reliable processing characteristics and proven field performance.
Designed for high-speed manufacturing environments, 950-706 combines fast curing performance with optimized viscosity to support efficient ribbon production. The coating delivers excellent fiber breakout characteristics, particularly when used with UV-curable inked fibers, helping simplify fiber access during splicing, termination, and maintenance procedures.
Its balanced mechanical properties make it suitable for a wide variety of ribbon cable architectures, including standard ribbon, subunit ribbon, and loose-tube cable designs. The material also offers excellent resistance to moisture-related performance degradation and maintains dependable mechanical properties in low-temperature environments, making it well suited for demanding indoor and outdoor network applications.
