RPX® Ribbon Cables are an innovative solution that provides the ideal alternative for a variety of connectivity needs. The unique, gel-free design helps eliminate time and labor associated with cleaning, and the one-step cable access system significantly simplifies prep work. The cables feature a central cavity containing a ribbon stack of up to 144 fibers, which can easily be separated into 12-fiber ribbons by hand.

Long-span options are available that enable up to 70% longer aerial spans than standard RPX cables.
