Freeform Ribbon® Interlocking Armored Outdoor/Indoor LSHF Riser Central Tube Cables
Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon® Interlocking Armored Outdoor/Indoor Low-Smoke Halogen-Free (LSHF) 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 LSHF (e.g., subways systems and tunnels).
