Abstract
The present disclosure provides an optical fibre ribbon. The optical fibre ribbon includes a plurality of optical fibres bonded with a matrix material. The matrix material is applied along a longitudinal length of the plurality of optical fibres. Further, the plurality of optical fibres is defined by a geometrical centre and diameter. Further, the plurality of optical fibres has a predefined distance between geometrical centres of any two adjacent optical fibres of the plurality of optical fibres. Moreover, the predefined distance between geometrical centres of any two adjacent optical fibres of the plurality of optical fibres is less than 200 microns. Further, the optical fibre ribbon provides the optical fibre ribbon cable that is flexible and easy to install in space constraint regions and allows ribbons to bend easily at non-preferential axis. Furthermore, the optical fibre ribbon with reduced weight and with high mass fusion splicing capability.
