Corning 006EUZ-T4101D2N — 6-Fiber Gel-Free Cable, OS2, Single-Mode

Corning 006EUZ-T4101D2N — 6-Fiber Gel-Free Cable, OS2, Single-Mode

The Corning 006EU4-T4101D20 is a gel-free, loose tube, dielectric fiber optic cable engineered for outdoor aerial and duct installations. It contains 6 single-mode (OS2) fibers compliant with ITU-T G.652.D standards, delivering low attenuation of 0.4 dB/km at 1310 nm and 1383 nm, and 0.3 dB/km at 1550 nm. The cable features a polyethylene (PE) outer jacket, water-swellable tape, and a dielectric central element, ensuring lightweight durability and moisture resistance. With a tensile strength rating of 2700 N short-term and 890 N long-term, it is built to withstand demanding environmental conditions. Designed to ANSI/ICEA S-87-640 standards, this cable is ideal for long-distance, high-performance network applications.
