Corning 006TU4-T4731D20 – 6-F OM2 50/125 LT Duct/Aerial Outdoor, Gel-Free, 3.0/1.0 dB/km, Altos Fast Access

Corning 006TU4-T4731D20 – 6-F OM2 50/125 LT Duct/Aerial Outdoor, Gel-Free, 3.0/1.0 dB/km, Altos Fast Access

This 6-fiber OM2 loose tube cable is designed for outdoor duct and aerial installations, featuring a gel-free construction for easy handling and fast deployment. It has a dielectric central element and a robust black polyethylene jacket for environmental protection and reliable long-term performance. Water-swellable tape provides moisture resistance, while fibers are color-coded according to Telcordia standards for simplified identification. Supporting 50 µm multimode OM2 fibers, the cable delivers low attenuation at 850/1300 nm, with high bandwidth suitable for 1G and 10G Ethernet applications over short distances. Engineered to ANSI/ICEA S-87-640 standards, it provides a lightweight yet mechanically strong solution for outdoor network infrastructure.
