The nanoFIBER 48-Strand Rollable Ribbon SM G657.A2 Indoor Plenum Fiber Cable is purpose-built for high-density installations where flexibility, speed, and space efficiency are critical but metallic armor is not required.
This non-armored cable uses 250µm rollable ribbon fiber, arranged in a single-binder configuration of 4x 12 fibers, allowing for mass fusion splicing to dramatically reduce installation time and simplify fiber management. Its OFCP-rated yellow plenum jacket complies with building codes for indoor use in air-handling spaces while offering a lightweight, easy-to-pull design that's ideal for conduit, raceways, and vertical risers. Installers benefit from the cable's exceptional bend radius, low memory, and reduced weight, which make it effortless to route through tight spaces and dense patch environments.
For customers, this design offers long-term scalability and optical performance, supported by G657.A2 bend-insensitive glass that minimizes signal loss in tight routing. Perfect for data centers, cross-connects, telecom closets, or backbone links in large buildings, this cable provides a streamlined solution for high-fiber-count applications without the added cost or rigidity of armored constructions.
