About this file
This is a specification sheet for Prysmian Group's Dry FusionLink Armored Ribbon Central Tube (Dry) Cable in support of the City of Palo Alto's Request for Quotes Number 198238 for the purchase and delivery of 432 fiber optic cable. The City of Palo Alto's Electric Operations Department, Utilities Division is seeking to procure fiber optic cable meeting or exceeding the specifications detailed in the specification sheet. The RFQ specifically addresses a one-time purchase of 432 fiber optic cable. The specification sheet describes cable configurations available in both coupled (RCD) and uncoupled (RCU) designs, with fiber counts ranging from 12 to 864 fibers. The coupled design (RCD1A1J-24-AA-432-BB) applicable to this procurement consists of 432 fibers arranged in 24-fiber ribbons with 13 to 18 ribbons per cable, eliminating the need for splice point coupling coils in aerial applications. The cable features dry water-blocking technology, corrugated steel armor for mechanical protection, and flexible buffer tubing for superior kink resistance and route management in closures.
The specification sheet indicates that the Prysmian cable meets or exceeds requirements of Telcordia GR-20 and ICEA 640 standards and complies with RUS PE-90 specifications. Performance parameters include a dynamic bend radius of 20 times cable outer diameter and static bend radius of 10 times cable outer diameter, with tensile ratings of 2,700 Newtons (600 lbf) for installation and 800 Newtons (180 lbf) residual. The cable operates across temperature ranges from -40 to +70 degrees Celsius and is available with various single-mode fiber types including ITU G.652 C & D low water peak (HB designation) and bend-insensitive options. The RCD1A1J-24-AA-432-BB configuration specified has a cable outer diameter of 0.90 inches (22.5 millimeters) and approximate weight of 262 pounds per thousand feet (391 kilograms per kilometer). The City of Palo Alto's RFQ indicates acceptance of alternate manufacturer proposals, provided that data sheets for proposed alternates are submitted with the quote.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Compact Design
• Efficient packaging of higher fiber counts
• Lightweight and easy to handle during installation
Easily Removable Ribbon Matrix
• Allows for ease of stripping and fiber breakout
• Improves mid-span strippability
Precision Ribbon Geometry
• Time and labor savings during fiber splicing
Flexible Buffer Tubet
• Superior kink resistance
• Increased flexibility
• Facilitates route management in closures
Dry Water-Blocking Technology
• Buffer tube and core are completely dry – no gel
• Permits rapid cable preparation and termination
• Water-blocking materials are easily removede ezPrep® Corrugated Steel Armor
• Provides additional mechanical protection
• Special coating reduces time and effort to remove jacket
Available Uncoupled or Coupled Designs
• Coupled design (RCD product) couples the ribbon stack with the cable which elimates the need for splice point coupling coils in aerial application
• Un-coupled design (RCU product) requires the use of coupling coils at the splice points in aerial applications to prevent fiber retraction in closures

**Where AA equals glass type and BB equals attenuation code
* Note: This design uses 24 fiber ribbons for counts of 240 to 576 fibers and 36 fiber ribbons for 612 to 864 fibers.
Please refer to ribbon in loose tube designs for higher fiber counts using 12 fiber ribbons.
If on reel testing is required for the 612-864 fiber designs, a reel with 60” drum must be specified on the order.
