Freeform Ribbon™ Interlocking Armored Outdoor/Indoor LSZH Riser Central Tube Cables

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon™ Interlocking Armored Outdoor/Indoor Low-Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Riser Central Tube Cables feature a flame-retardant outer jacket, 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 12-fiber ribbons may be spliced to a conventional ribbon, pliable ribbon, or non-ribbonized (single) fibers, as well as connectorized with both MPO and all industry-standard connectors. The non-preferential bend axis allows for easy installation in space-constrained areas. In addition, this cable is designed for areas that require LSZH (e.g., subways systems and tunnels).
