Corning 012EUA-T4101D20 – 12-Fiber 8.3/125 Single-Mode OS2, Loose Tube, Gel-Free, Figure-8 Aerial, Dielectric-Central-Member

Corning 012EUA-T4101D20 – 12-Fiber 8.3/125 Single-Mode OS2, Loose Tube, Gel-Free, Figure-8 Aerial, Dielectric-Central-Member

This 12-fiber, gel-free, loose tube aerial cable is designed for self-supporting outdoor installations, featuring a figure-8 design with a dielectric central member. Engineered for single-mode OS2 applications, it supports 1310, 1383, and 1550 nm wavelengths with low attenuation for reliable high-speed data transmission. The cable is protected by a black polyethylene jacket and includes a stranded steel messenger for aerial support, while water-swellable tape ensures moisture protection without the need for gel filling. Each fiber is color-coded according to Telcordia standards for easy identification, and the 2.5 mm buffer tubes keep fibers organized and secure. With robust mechanical specifications and flexible bend radius, this cable is ideal for long-term, high-performance outdoor aerial deployments.
