Corning 006TUC-T4190D20 – Outdoor Cable, Armored, Loose Tube, T, 6 Fiber, Multimode, Black, Dielectric, OM4

This 6-fiber OM4 loose tube cable is engineered for outdoor aerial, duct, and direct-buried installations requiring armored protection. Featuring a dielectric central element with corrugated steel tape armor and black polyethylene jacket, it provides robust mechanical strength and reliable performance in harsh environments. The cable includes water-swellable tape and Telcordia color-coded fibers for easy identification and moisture resistance. OM4 50 µm fibers deliver low attenuation at 850/1300 nm, supporting high-speed 1G and 10G Ethernet networks with exceptional modal bandwidth. Designed to ANSI/ICEA S-87-640 standards, this cable ensures fast deployment, strong mechanical integrity, and long-term reliability for demanding outdoor network infrastructure.
