Standard Ribbon Interlocking Armored Indoor Plenum Central Tube Cables

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Standard Ribbon Interlocking Armored Indoor Plenum Central Tube Cables, featuring a fiber count of up to 432 fibers, are ideal for high-density networks and save valuable duct space in the building. The cable features 250 μm color-coded optical fibers for easy fiber identification and Sumitomo Electric’s patented Easy Split and Peel technology for easy fiber access and unprecedented ease of handling and splicing. The 12-ribbon groupings enable easy connectorization with both MPO and industry-standard connectors. The cables also feature interlocking armor, providing protection against crushing forces. Flexible dielectric strength members within the cable core provide mechanical durability within a flame-retardant jacket, and the non-preferential bend axis allows for easy installation in space-constrained areas. These plenum-rated cables meet or exceed OFCP and CSA FT-6 approvals and listings.
