Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber optic cable is the foundation of every broadband, telecom, and utility network being built today. From loose tube OSP backbone to last-mile drops and air-blown microduct cable, Galloway stocks OSP fiber from OFS, Prysmian, and AFL - the manufacturers whose names are on the spec sheets your engineers submit. We hold inventory across our regional locations so your build schedule doesn’t wait on cable.

Ribbon - High Fiber Count Backbone & Trunk

Fujikura Ribbon Fiber Splicing kit 6-22-26-8089 Medium

 

  • For high-density backbone and trunk, hyperscale data center interconnect, and central office / carrier-hotel cabling

  • Fiber counts from 144 to 6,912+; outside diameter is critical for duct-fill calculations

  • Standard matrix, rollable, and intermittently bonded ribbon (IBR) constructions; rollable / IBR allows higher packing density in a smaller diameter

  • 12-fiber mass-fusion splicing dramatically reduces splice time vs. single-fiber splicing

  • Single jacket, double jacket, armored, or all-dielectric construction
