Corning 012KUA-T4130D20 – Figure-8 Aerial Fiber Optic Cable, OM1, 62.5/125 µm, Dielectric Central Member, 12 Fiber, ALTOS®

Corning 012KUA-T4130D20 – Figure-8 Aerial Fiber Optic Cable, OM1, 62.5/125 µm, Dielectric Central Member, 12 Fiber, ALTOS® 

This 12-fiber OM1 figure-8 aerial fiber optic cable is designed for self-supporting outdoor installations. Featuring a dielectric central member with a stranded steel messenger, the cable provides robust aerial performance while maintaining light weight and flexibility. Constructed with loose tube design, water-swellable elements, and a black polyethylene jacket, it ensures protection against environmental factors and complies with ANSI/ICEA S-87-640 and Telcordia color standards. The cable delivers multimode 62.5/125 µm performance with maximum attenuation of 3.4 dB/km at 850 nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300 nm, supporting 1G and 10G Ethernet over standard distances. Ideal for reliable aerial network deployment, the Altos figure-8 cable combines durability, ease of installation, and high-performance optical transmission.
