Freeform Ribbon™ UHFC OSP All-Dielectric Slotted Core Cables

Sumitomo Electric’s Freeform Ribbon™ Ultra High Fiber Count Outside Plant All Dielectric Slotted Core Cables feature an all dielectric design requiring no grounding or bonding, 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 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.
