Freeform Ribbon™ Outdoor/Indoor LSZH Riser Monotube Cables

Freeform Ribbon™ Outdoor/Indoor LSZH Riser Monotube Cables

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon™ Outside/Inside Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Riser Monotube Cables are intended for duct and direct buried installation and features the patented 12-fiber pliable Freeform Ribbon™ constructed of 250 μm 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.
