Corning 002T81-31180-24 – Distribution Cable, OM3, Tight-Buffered, 50 µm, 2 Fiber, Riser

This 2-fiber tight-buffered OM3 distribution cable features a 50 µm multimode core, optimized for indoor horizontal and riser applications. The aqua flame-retardant jacket provides robust protection, while dielectric strength members offer mechanical strength for long-term reliability. Supporting 1 Gigabit Ethernet up to 1000 m and 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 m, it maintains maximum attenuation of 2.8 dB/km at 850 nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300 nm. With a minimum bend radius of 64.5 mm during installation and 43 mm in operation, the cable ensures flexible routing in tight spaces. Designed for high-performance indoor networks, this OM3 cable delivers superior bandwidth and compliance with IEC 60793-2-10 standards.
