Freeform Ribbon™ Indoor LSZH Riser Central Tube Cables
Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon™ Indoor Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Riser Central Tube Cables feature a flame-retardant outer jacket, and the patented 12-fiber pliable Freeform Ribbon™ constructed of 250 or 200 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. In addition, this cable is designed for areas that require Low Smoke and Zero Halogen such as Subways systems and Tunnels.
