Freeform Ribbon™ Conventional OSP All-Dielectric Slotted Core Cables

Freeform Ribbon™ Conventional OSP All-Dielectric Slotted Core Cables

Sumitomo Electric Lightwaves’s Freeform Ribbon™ Conventional Outside Plant (OSP) All-Dielectric Slotted Core Cables feature an all-dielectric design requiring no grounding or bonding, 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 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.
