Freeform Ribbon™ Outdoor/Indoor OFNR LSHF Cable

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon™ Outdoor/Indoor Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser (OFNR) Low Smoke Halogen-Free (LSHF) Central Tube Cable feature a flame-retardant outer jacket and 12-fiber pliable ribbons constructed of 200μm color-coded optical fibers for easy fiber identification. The all-dielectric cable construction requires no grounding or bonding.

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.
