Freeform Ribbon™ Indoor/Outdoor X-Slotted Core Cable
Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon™ Indoor/Outdoor X-Slotted Core Cable is intended for installation in ducts, direct burial, and for pulling purposes. This cable is designed with water-blocking tapes applied over each slot to protect against water migration, a central FRP strength member, a black flame-retardant polyethylene (FRPE) sheath, and the patented 12-fiber pliable Freeform Ribbon™ constructed of 200μm color-coded optical fibers.
Freeform Ribbon™ enables high fiber density within a small cable diameter which minimizes duct space requirements. The 12-fiber ribbons may be spliced to a conventional ribbon, pliable ribbon, or non-ribbonized (single) fibers, as well as connectorization with both MPO and all industry standard connectors. The non-preferential bend axis allows for easy installation in space-constrained areas.
