Freeform Ribbon® Armored Conventional OSP Slotted Core Cables
Sumitomo Electric’s Freeform Ribbon® Armored Conventional Outside Plant All-Dielectric Slotted Core Cables feature an all dielectric design requiring no grounding or bonding, an interlocking armor which 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 in turn helps with limited duct space. The twelve 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.
