Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s Freeform Ribbon™ Flexible Indoor Plenum Cordage features a flame-retardant outer jacket, a flexible design for easier maneuvering, and the patented 12-fiber pliable Freeform Ribbon™ constructed of 250μm color-coded optical fibers. In addition, this cordage is designed to maximize fiber density to save valuable space in cable trays and indoor enclosures, making it an ideal choice for interconnect applications.
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.
