Sumitomo Electric’s Freeform Ribbon™ Indoor/Outdoor Low-Smoke-Zero-Halogen (LSZH) Slotted Core Cables feature the patented 12-fiber pliable Freeform Ribbon™ constructed of 250 or 200μm color-coded optical fibers.
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.
