Freeform Ribbon™ Flexible Indoor Plenum Cordage

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon™ Ruggedized Indoor Plenum Central Tube Cables feature a flame-retardant outer jacket, a flexible design for easier maneuvering, and the patented 12-fiber pliable Freeform Ribbon™ constructed of 250 μm color-coded optical fibers. 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. In addition, this cordage is designed to maximize fiber density to save valuable space in cable trays and indoor enclosures, making it an ideal choice for interconnect applications.
