CORNING 012EUF-T4101D20 12-FIBER, SM, FREEDOM ALL DIELECTRIC PER 1000 FOOT Corning Cable Systems FREEDM® Loose Tube Cables are flame-retardant, indoor/outdoor, riser-rated cables designed for interbuilding and intrabuilding backbones in aerial, duct and riser applications. Available in fiber counts from 2 to 288 fibers, these cables are protected against water penetration by innovative waterblocking materials that swell to absorb water. Waterblocking without the use of messy gels provides more efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation. It also makes cable access easier and simplifies the use of buffer tube fan-out kits. The buffer tubes and fibers in each tube are colorcoded for quick, easy identification. The SZ-stranded, loose tube design isolates fibers from installation and environmental rigors and allows for easy midspan access. Available in 50 ìm, 62.5 ìm, single-mode and
hybrid versions, the cable design is also NEC® (National Electrical Code®) listed (OFNR and FT-4).
The all-dielectric cable construction requires no grounding or bonding and the UV-resistant, flameretardant jacket is rugged, durable and easy to strip. This cable is also available with interlocking armor for special applications requiring additional mechanical durability and with Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
