Freeform Ribbon™ OSP All-Dielectric Central Tube Cables
Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon™ Outside Plant (OSP) All-Dielectric Central Tube Cables feature an all-dielectric design requiring no grounding or bonding, and the patented 12-fiber pliable Freeform Ribbon™ constructed of 250 or 200 μm color-coded optical fibers.
Freeform Ribbon™ enables high fiber density within a small cable diameter which minimizes duct space requirements. 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.
