Evolving Best Practices for Placement and Termination of Very High Fiber Count Cables in the Outside Plant

Emerging applications, such as 5G and hyperscale data centers, have triggered demand for higher fiber counts. These trends have led to the introduction of new very high fiber count (VHFC) cables. For today’s high-density projects, it is important for ICT professionals to understand the key properties of VHFC flexible ribbon cables, their most common applications, and how these cables should be placed and managed in splice closures.
