Standard Ribbon Interlocking Armored Indoor Riser Central Tube Cables

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Standard Ribbon Interlocking Armored Indoor Riser Central Tube Cables feature a flame-retardant outer jacket, 250 μm color-coded optical fibers for easy fiber identification, and Sumitomo’s exclusive patented easy split and peel technology for easy fiber access and unprecedented ease of handling and splicing. The 12-fiber ribbon subunits enable easy connectorization with MPO splice-on connectors and ribbon pigtails. These cables are an excellent choice for intra-building connectivity applications for data centers and other network application scenarios.

Flexible dielectric strength members provide mechanical durability within a flame-retardant jacket, and the non-preferential bend axis allows for easy installation in space-constrained areas. The cable also features interlocking armor, adding protection against crushing forces. The cables meet OFCR and CSA FT4 specifications and are available in all fiber types.
