Freeform Ribbon™ All-Dielectric Monotube OSP Cable

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon™ All-Dielectric Monotube Outside Plant (OSP) Cable is 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 in turn helps with limited duct space. 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.
