Corning 012EUZ-T4101D2N — Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Cable, OS2, Loose Tube, Black – 12 Fiber, Corrugated Steel Armor

This 12-fiber single-mode (OS2) loose tube cable is built for versatile indoor/outdoor use, offering exceptional durability and protection in challenging environments. It features corrugated steel armor for superior mechanical protection against crushing forces and rodent damage, while maintaining flame-retardant, low-smoke zero-halogen (FRNC/LSZH) materials for safety. Designed for aerial, direct burial, duct, riser, and general-purpose applications, it meets strict NEC, IEEE, and IEC standards, ensuring long-term reliability. The cable supports ITU-T G.652.D performance with maximum attenuation of 0.4/0.4/0.3 dB/km at 1310, 1383, and 1550 nm wavelengths. With a robust design, wide temperature tolerance, and Telcordia color-coded fibers, this cable delivers dependable high-speed connectivity in both indoor and outdoor installations.
