Fiber Optic Bundle & Ribbon Cable Assembly

A fiber optic bundle assembly groups multiple single-mode or multimode fibers into one organized cable assembly for compact, repeatable optical interconnection.

Opticlumos supplies configurable bundle and ribbon fiber cable assemblies with single-ended or double-ended connector termination for optical termination boxes, equipment rooms, industrial control and indoor network projects.

Product Features

Configurable fiber countReference configurations include 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 cores, with larger counts available for project-specific designs.
Single-mode or multimodeChoose 9/125 μm single-mode, 50/125 μm multimode or 62.5/125 μm multimode fiber.
Connectorized fan-outAssemblies can be terminated at one end or both ends and specified with PC, UPC or APC polishing where applicable.
Stable optical performanceLow insertion loss, high return loss, good interchangeability and repeatability support reliable equipment interconnection.

Fiber Bundle Selection Guide

Key selection points

  • Choose single-mode or multimode fiber and the required operating wavelength.
  • Define fiber count, overall length, fan-out length and routing envelope.
  • Select connector family, polish, keying and end-face requirements.
  • Confirm insertion-loss, return-loss and mating-cycle acceptance criteria.
  • Specify jacket, labeling, test report and packaging requirements.

Information to include in your RFQ

  • Fiber type, core count and operating wavelength
  • Connector type and termination at one end or both ends
  • Total length and individual fan-out lengths
  • Maximum insertion loss and minimum return loss
  • Temperature, tensile, bend and installation requirements
  • Quantity, labeling and inspection documentation

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a fiber optic bundle and a standard patch cable?

A bundle organizes multiple fibers into one assembly and typically fans them out to several connectors or channels. A standard patch cable normally provides one duplex or simplex point-to-point link.

Can the bundle be terminated at one end or both ends?

Yes. The assembly can be supplied with a connectorized fan-out at one end or with connectors at both ends, depending on the equipment and termination-box layout.

Which information is required for a custom quotation?

Please provide fiber type, count, wavelength, connector and polish, overall and fan-out lengths, loss limits, environmental conditions, quantity and test-document requirements.
