Abstract: This work presents the development of a self-supporting aerial cable containing 144 optical fibers for 200 m spans using flexible ribbon technology fully developed in Brazil. As part of the development, standards and testing requirements were defined to adapt these cables to the Brazilian reality. Relevant information about cable design, fabrication and results of laboratory tests will also be presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
