OM3/OM4 Multi-Mode 50μm Freeform Ribbon™ Fiber Bundles
The Freeform Ribbon™ design (FP72PVx) uses durable Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) material for the jacket and Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s patented 12-fiber pliable ribbon, which is constructed of 250mm color-coded optical fibers known as Freeform Ribbon™. Freeform Ribbon™ allows for compact fiber bundle construction without the need for nylon subunits which makes the preparation and termination process easier and faster compared to the legacy design (FBxxG5x/G5xS). Additionally, with 12ct Freeform Ribbon™, fusion splicing can be done with 12 fibers at once compared to only one fiber at a time for legacy versions, saving valuable time and overall termination costs. With the Freeform Ribbon™ design fiber bundle, the choice of termination is now expanded to ribbon fibers, non-ribbonized fibers, MPO and other standard connectors.
