Freeform Ribbon™ Indoor/Outdoor LSHF Riser Central Tube Cables

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon™ Indoor/Outdoor Low Smoke Halogen-Free (LSHF) Riser Central Tube Cables feature a flame-retardant outer jacket, 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. In addition, this cable is designed for areas that require Low Smoke and Zero Halogen such as Subways systems and Tunnels.
