Freeform Ribbon™ Interlocking Armored Indoor Riser Central Tube Cables

Freeform Ribbon™ Interlocking Armored Indoor Riser Central Tube Cables

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s (SEL) Freeform Ribbon™ Interlocking Armored Indoor Riser Central Tube Cables feature a flame-retardant outer jacket, an interlocking armor that adds protection against crushing forces, and 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.
