The demand for higher-capacity, space-efficient fiber infrastructure continues to accelerate. This week, Lightera has responded with a breakthrough optical fiber cable designed to maximize fiber deployment while streamlining installation. Their latest solution, unveiled at Fiber Connect 2025, promises to enhance network scalability for urban and high-density environments.
Lightera Unveils Ultra-Compact 864 Fiber Microcable Solution
Lightera has introduced the RollR® 200 864 Fiber Rollable Ribbon Microcable, bringing new efficiency to fiber rollout. At only 11.4mm in diameter, the cable houses an impressive 864 optical fibers. This ultra-compact size allows for massive fiber density in a smaller footprint, making it ideal for providers aiming to scale up their networks. According to Michel Gomez, Product Manager, the new microcable helps operators increase duct efficiency and simplify installation for today’s fast-evolving connectivity demands.
Optimized for 14mm Microducts: Maximizing Fiber Deployment
The new product is precisely engineered for 14mm inner diameter (ID) microducts. This focus ensures it’s well-suited for installation in urban and space-constrained deployments where maximizing every inch of available duct is crucial. The cable’s design supports air-blown installation and features a specially rifled outer jacket to minimize friction. As a result, installation can cover longer distances without difficulty, saving both time and operational costs.
Driving Next-Generation Connectivity with Rollable Ribbon Technology
The heart of the RollR 200’s innovation lies in Lightera’s rollable ribbon design. This technology enables fast mass fusion splicing, which speeds up deployment and lowers labor needs. Furthermore, the microcable is future-ready, supporting next-gen bandwidth and emerging communication technologies. The fiber’s flexibility and scalability make it a smart choice for expanding networks in sectors from telecommunications and data centers to utilities and smart cities.
In summary, the Lightera RollR® 200 864 Fiber Rollable Ribbon Microcable marks a major step forward for operators looking to expand fiber capacity quickly and efficiently. By combining compact design, high fiber density, and advanced installation technology, Lightera empowers connectivity providers to build sustainable, future-ready infrastructure for the data-driven world.
