Freeform Ribbon™ Armored Monotube OSP Cable
Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon™ Armored Monotube Outside Plant (OSP) Cable is intended for duct installation, and the patented 12-fiber pliable Freeform Ribbon™ is 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. These cables feature a dry water block yarn design that eliminates cable flooding gels, thereby eliminating the cleaning and blocking preparation steps associated with standard gel-filled cables. The steel-armored sheath construction produces a rugged, rodent-resistant cable and adds the compressive strength required for direct buried applications.
