Contour Flow cable represents an innovative breakthrough in outside plant cable technology, minimizing cable diameter to maximize use of existing infrastructure and accelerate deployments.
The cable design is enabled by Corning® SMF-28® Contour fiber, a 40% smaller fiber* with improved bend resilience for high-density environments. Fibers are arranged in flexible Flow Ribbons for efficient mass fusion splicing.
Fibers (≥864F) are organized into color-coded subunits: micro cable options utilize colored yarn to maximize density, while standard dielectric and armored cables feature finger-peelable Thin-Film subunits for direct routing into hardware to reduce cable prep time.
Contour Flow cable is a more sustainable option as well. Due to its decreased diameter and increased fiber density, the cable enables up to a 27% reduction in carbon footprint per fiber compared to the next best alternative.†
* SMF-28 Contour fiber has a 190 µm outer diameter that provides a 40% cross-sectional area reduction when compared to a 242 µm fiber.
†- Based on LCA conducted in accordance with ISO 14040 & 14044 standards for 864F armored option and critically reviewed by an independent 3rd party.
