Abstract
The present disclosure provides an optical fibre ribbon. The optical fibre ribbon includes a plurality of optical fibres. The plurality of optical fibres is in range of about 4 to 12. In addition, each of the plurality of optical fibres is characterized by diameter. Further, the optical fibre ribbon has a pitch dpitch. Furthermore, the optical fibre ribbon is compatible with standard 250 micron optical fibre for fusion splicing. Also, the optical fibre ribbon is characterized by planarity. Also, the optical fibre ribbon is characterized by a cured coating. Also, the cured coating has characteristic of a glass transition temperature. Also, the glass transition temperature facilitates change in state of the optical fibre ribbon from hard brittle state to soft rubbery state.
