1. INCA seminar Ribbon fibre technologies Sumitomo Electric Europe Ltd www.sumielectric.com Russell Woolsey Department Manager Lightwave Network Products EMEA 2019-10-15

2. Sumitomo Electric Industries – who are we? Automotive Info communications Electronics Energy & Environment • ¥3.17Tn (£24Bn at ¥130 = £1) revenue in FY2018 • Approx. 240,000 employees worldwide Industrial materials

3. CONFIDENTIAL Installation costs and cable congestion ➢ Overlaying of low fiber count cable consume ducts and poles in waste. ➢ New duct and pole construction is expensive and difficult. ➢ High dense cable fully utilizes the existing duct investment. ➢ Thinner and Higher fiber count cables are required. Background -3-

4. CONFIDENTIAL Conventional Loose tube Cable Is there anything you are having trouble with? - Short of fiber count - Single fibers splicing - Handling of Jelly filled cable - Fiber access Background -4-

5. CONFIDENTIAL Ribbon cable types -5- Slotted core, helical or SZ Ribbon in loose tubes Central tube type Made as conventional ribbon Slits added to the ribbon Sumitomo’s pliable Freeform™ ribbon

6. CONFIDENTIAL Time Saving Space Saving Usability 1. Less space per fiber and more efficient usage of existing duct 2. - Quick splicing by ribbon fibres - Quicker recovery 3. - Easy Cable handling -6- Sumitomo Cable can contribute,

7. CONFIDENTIAL Free Form & 200um Fiber Ribbon 2.5mm 12f 200um 3.2mm 12f 250um (Conventional) Highly Flexible Ribbon 0.24mm 0.31mm Space Saving Thinner Fiber Ribbon The world highest density ribbon cable. -7-

8. CONFIDENTIAL Sub duct 6 sub ducts are needed for 6 times cable installation. 5 sub ducts are saved! Installation cost also saved ! Existing Duct ➢ For Sumitomo 864f(Φ14.8), installation needs to be done only once 1 2 3 4 5 6 Additional Duct 1 2 4 3 5 ➢ Total 864f installation by 144f(Φ16.6) x 6times ➢ Each cable is installed one by one Space Saving -8- by 864f high fiber count Cable Sub duct

9. CONFIDENTIAL Time Saving Space Saving Usability 1. Less space per fiber and more efficient usage of existing duct 2. - Quick splicing by ribbon fibers - Quicker recovery 3. - Compatibility - Easy Cable handling -9- Sumitomo Cable can contribute,

10. CONFIDENTIAL -10- ◆Mass fusion splicing Saves fusion splicing time dramatically ◆ High Packing Flexible ribbon enable high density cable by change its form. ◆ Compatible to single fibers Connect with loose tube cable easily Time Saving

11. CONFIDENTIAL ➢ Total installation time also reduced by 75%. ➢ When the additional installation or quick recovery is needed, Ribbon and high fiber count cable is more effective to reduce installation time Construction Procedures 2. Fiber Preparation 3. Splicing & Heating 4. Fiber Storing Loose Tube 864 Core Sumitomo 864-f Ribbon Cable -6 times Cable installation -864 times splicing -Only once installation -72 times splicing Case of 864f 864f = 144f x 6 864f Time Saving -11- Solution 1. Cable installation 5hrs 1day3 days 3 days

12. CONFIDENTIAL Time Saving Space Saving Usability 1. Less space per fiber and more efficient usage of existing duct 2. - Quick splicing by ribbon fibers - Quicker recovery 3. - Easy Cable handling -12- Sumitomo Cable can contribute,

13. CONFIDENTIAL Usability -13- Easy Cable handling ➢ No need to cut tube ➢ No need to wipe fiber

14. CONFIDENTIAL ■Fiber color Code Each fiber shall be identifiable by ribbon marking and fiber color codes Example photo Blue-Orange-Green- Brown-Slate-White -Red-Black-Yellow-Violet-Rose-Aqua ■Ribbon marking Code 50 + 10 + 5 +1+1+1 =No. 68 Easy Fiber Identification -14- Usability

15. CONFIDENTIAL -15- These will make profit right now and also in near future 1. Less space per fiber and more efficient usage of existing duct 2. - Quick splicing by ribbon fibers - Quicker recovery 3. - Easy Cable handling Time Saving Space Saving Usability Sumitomo Cable can contribute,

16. Ribbon splicer Ribbon fibres – splicing, what you need Ribbon cleaver Stripping tool ...plus lint free wipes, IPA or other cleaning fluid, splice protection sleeves and appropriate fibre holders

17. Ribbon fibres – splicing pliable 200um pitch ribbon 200um pitch ribbon 250um pitch v-grooves • The practicalities • Ribbon splicer v-groove pitch has historically been only 250um • T-71M12: 250um v-groove pitch • Splice 250um pitch ribbon • Splice 200um pitch ribbon using a pitch changing holder, PCH-12 • T-71M12-200: 200um v-groove pitch • A dedicated 200um pitch splicer

18. 4 4 4 Ribbon fibres – splicing 200um pitch ribbon on 250um pitch splicer 200um pitch Freeform™ ribbon 200um pitch Freeform™ ribbon aligned for 250um pitch v-grooves • PCH-12 pitch changing holder • Cleave the Freeform™ ribbon at the point where the matrix is 3x 4 fibres. • Position each 4 fibre sub-ribbon into individual channels in the holder • The fibres are now sufficiently splayed to align with 250um pitch v-grooves

19. Sumitomo Electric Industries – 30+ years fusion splicing T-72C High Definition Core Aligner T-57 Standard Core Aligner T-72M12 Ribbon Fibre T-400S Active Cladding Aligner
