Freeform Ribbon® OSP All-Dielectric Central Tube Cables

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon® Outside Plant 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 200 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 twelve fiber ribbons may be spliced to a conventional ribbon, pliable ribbon, or non-ribbonized (single) fibers, connectorization with both MPO and all industry standard connectors. The non-preferential bend axis allows for easy installation in space-constrained areas.
