Overview
The Ribbon/Buffer Tube Fan-Out Kit is engineered to provide a simple, secure method for breaking out standard buffer tubes or ribbon cables into individual 900µm buffered fibers. This kit is essential for transitioning high-density cable structures to connectorized interfaces in data center, telecommunications, and enterprise networking environments.
Constructed with a snap-together design, the kit allows for easy installation and provides the flexibility for reentry and maintenance without damaging the fiber. Each unit includes adapters compatible with various round cable configurations, such as buffer tubes and ribbon cables, and is pre-configured for 6-fiber applications to ensure efficient and organized fiber management.
Key Features
-
Snap-Together Design
Features a modular housing that snaps together for quick assembly and enables easy reentry if adjustments or maintenance are required. -
Universal Cable Compatibility
Includes specialized adapters to accommodate both round buffer tubes and ribbon cable configurations, reducing the need for multiple inventory styles. -
Hytrel Tubing
Utilizes 36-inch lengths of 900µm Hytrel tubing, providing a robust protective layer for fragile bare fibers. -
Color-Coded Identification
The tubing follows industry-standard color codes, which simplifies fiber identification and minimizes the risk of incorrect connections during termination. -
250µm Fiber Support
Specifically designed to accept and protect 250µm fibers, ensuring a secure transition during the fan-out process. -
Pre-Configured Application
Engineered specifically for 6-fiber applications to allow for rapid, predictable deployment in the field.
Applications
- Data Center fiber management
- Enterprise LAN/WAN installations
- Central office/Headend termination
- Transitioning ribbon cable to patch panels
