BRISBANE, Australia – September 4, 2025 – ScaleFibre has launched SmartRIBBON™, a new range of compact, ultra-high-fiber-count optical fiber cables engineered for duct and conduit installations in dense metro, transport and access environments. The range supports configurations up to 3456 fibers, offering network builders a flexible, scalable backbone for fiber-dense deployments.
The launch reflects the depth of ScaleFibre’s ongoing collaboration with leading global fiber and cable manufacturers. By working closely with specific top-tier partners, ScaleFibre is able to deliver solutions built on proven optical fiber technology while adapting to evolving deployment needs in the field.
SmartRIBBON™ uses a flexible ribbon construction based on intermittently bonded fibers arranged in 12-fiber ribbons. This structure enables both high-density mass fusion splicing and single-fiber fusion splicing. The innovative completely dry design enables efficient preparation while maintaining the handling benefits of tubed cables, incorporating flexible polymer buffer tubes to protect the fibers while allowing for easy routing and termination.
Optimised for high duct utilisation in space-constrained environments. Despite supporting thousands of fibers, their outer diameter remains compact, helping carriers and contractors make full use of limited conduit real estate.
“The challenge in today’s fiber rollouts isn’t just capacity or density, it’s how fast and efficiently that capacity can be installed,” said Daniel Rose, CEO of ScaleFibre. “SmartRIBBON brings serious fiber counts into a format that’s easier to handle, splice and deploy in volume.”
SmartRIBBON™ is available now across supported regions. It is suited to large-scale infrastructure programs where capacity, space efficiency, and deployment speed are key — including hyperscale and data-center interconnect, campus environments, and high-capacity telecommunications networks.
