RocketRibbon® Cables | Ribbon Cable

Corning® RocketRibbon® Cables

The ultimate fiber cabling solution for the highest bandwidth capacity in duct, buried or aerial applications.

Corning® RocketRibbon® Cable

Corning RocketRibbon cabling solutions meet today’s demand for reliable high-speed data transmission in duct, buried, or aerial applications. The cables are comprised of multiple optical fibers bundled together in a flat ribbon format that is high density, lightweight, and durable for easy handling and installations in tight spaces and extreme environmental conditions. Conventional 12-fiber ribbons are maintained for installer familiarity, and each ribbon is printed with a unique ID for fast identification and efficient fiber splicing management. Improved outside plant jacket marking allows for abrasion resistance and includes highly visible key cable specifications for faster field reference.

Additionally, our optimized pairing solutions for the Fiber Optic Splice Closure 2178 family is ideal for our RocketRibbon cables, providing excellent system flexibility and reliable protection for brownfield and greenfield deployments, smart designs to make your job easier, and features to meet network demands.
