Corning FREEDM® ribbon interlocking armored, gel-filled riser cables continue the innovative breakthrough in indoor/outdoor cable technology with a new generation of high-fiber-count single tube cables. These cables are designed to maximize the use of critical duct space with excellent installation results. Encased in spirally -wrapped aluminum interlocking armor for ruggedness and superior crush resistance, the cables are ideal for industrial and heavy traffic areas and installations requiring extra protection for optical cables. The UV-resistant, flame-retardant jacket allows this cable to be installed outdoors or in indoor general purpose horizontal and riser applications. The cable employs a single buffer tube containing a stack of 12 fiber ribbons within a gel-filled central buffer tube.

Note: This cable is available in 12 different jacket colors – blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white, red, black, yellow, violet, rose and aqua. The colored jacket allows for easy visual identification of the cables while still providing all of the required environmental protection of an indoor/outdoor cable jacket. Black is the standard jacket color using the part numbers shown here.
