NFR48-SMA2-P-YL-250 - Overview

The nanoFIBER 48-Strand Rollable Ribbon SM G657.A2 Armored Fiber Cable is a game-changing solution for high-density backbone deployments where fast mass fusion splicing, mechanical durability, and space efficiency are mission critical. Featuring flexible 250µm rollable ribbon fiber arranged in a compact single-binder format, this cable offers the installer all the high-speed splicing benefits of traditional ribbon-with the bend flexibility and density of loose tube designs.

Protected by a passivated stainless steel spiral armor, UV-resistant OFCP-rated yellow jacket, water-swellable tape, and Kevlar reinforcement, this cable is engineered for maximum reliability in demanding indoor plenum spaces where tight pathways, rodent threats, or building code requirements pose major challenges.

For customers, it simplifies large-scale fiber builds, speeds up splicing workflows, reduces rack congestion, and enhances long-term network performance with low bend loss G657.A2 glass. For installers, the cable dramatically reduces labor and prep time at splice enclosures by enabling 12-fiber mass fusions per ribbon layer, while maintaining flexibility for easy pulling, bending, and routing. Whether used in data centers, campus networks, or enterprise risers, this rollable ribbon cable delivers the perfect balance of protection, performance, and productivity in a compact armored form factor.

Suggested Step-Up Product:
Step-up to armored, LSZH, or plenum-rated build

Key Advantages vs. Competitors:
- Stainless steel armored cable outperforms other flexible jackets for crush/pest protection
- Compact OD reduces bend radius challenges in riser or conduit installs
- Ships via UPS unlike heavier alternatives which require freight
- Longer warranties and superior deployment flexibility across segments
