Freeform Ribbon™ Outdoor/Indoor Plenum Cable

Freeform Ribbon™ Flexible Indoor Riser Optical Fiber Cable

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon™ Outdoor/Indoor Plenum Central Tube Cable is intended for outdoor and indoor plenum installations and features a flame-retardant outer jacket and the patented 12-fiber pliable Freeform Ribbon™ constructed of 250 μm color-coded optical fibers. The cable meets NFPA 262 and CSA FT6 specifications.

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.
