Corning 012EB4-14100A20 – 12-Figure Self-Supporting Drop Cable, Single-mode OS2, All-Dielectric

Corning 012EB4-14100A20 – 12-Figure Self-Supporting Drop Cable, Single-mode OS2, All-Dielectric 

This 12-fiber self-supporting drop cable is designed for outdoor installations requiring reliable single-mode (OS2) performance. Featuring an all-dielectric construction with polyethylene jacket and dielectric strength members, it provides excellent durability while eliminating the need for metallic components. The cable supports 1310, 1383, and 1550 nm wavelengths with maximum attenuation of 0.4/0.4/0.25 dB/km, delivering optimal performance for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and drop applications. Its figure-8 design allows for easy aerial deployment, and the 12-fiber count is color-coded to Telcordia standards for simple identification. Ideal for USDA rural development programs and other outdoor networks, this cable combines high performance, flexibility, and ease of installation.
