Corning 024ZCF-14101D20 – 24 Fiber OS2 Singlemode Fiber Optic Cable, Indoor/Outdoor, Black

024ECF-14101-20 – Indoor/Outdoor Ribbon Dielectric Fiber Optic Cable

The 024ECF-14101-20 is a 24-fiber single-mode (OS2) ribbon dielectric cable designed for indoor/outdoor use in a variety of applications including general purpose, horizontal, duct, direct buried, riser, and aerial installations. It features a flame-retardant, UV-resistant black outer jacket with a riser (OFNR) flame rating and compliance to NEC® OFNR and CSA FT-4 standards. The cable has a round geometry with two ribbons per tube, each containing 12 fibers, and uses dielectric strength members for tensile performance. It operates in temperatures from -40 °C to 70 °C and offers a minimum bend radius of 180 mm during installation and 120 mm in operation. Designed to ITU-T G.652.D compliance, it provides low attenuation across 1310 nm, 1383 nm, and 1550 nm wavelengths.
