Corning 012T8P-31180-29 — 12-F OM3 Tight-Buffered Plenum FREEDM ONE, 2.8/1.0 dB/km, 1500/500 MHz·km, Pretium 300, ClearCurve

Corning 012T8P-31180-29 — 12-F OM3 Tight-Buffered Plenum FREEDM ONE, 2.8/1.0 dB/km, 1500/500 MHz·km, Pretium 300, ClearCurve

This 12-fiber OM3 tight-buffered plenum cable from the FREEDM ONE series is designed for high-performance indoor and outdoor networking applications, including aerial, duct, riser, horizontal, and plenum environments. It supports 50 µm multimode (OM3) fibers with low attenuation of 2.8 dB/km at 850 nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300 nm, delivering excellent bandwidth performance of 1500/500 MHz·km and Pretium 300 ClearCurve bend-insensitive fiber technology. Built with a durable flame-retardant, UV-resistant plenum-rated (OFNP) black jacket and water-swellable strength members, it ensures superior protection against environmental challenges. The compact 6.3 mm diameter and lightweight 37.57 kg/km design allow for easy installation with bend radii of 94.5 mm (installation) and 63 mm (operation). Fully compliant with NEC, FT-6, and IEC standards, this cable is RoHS-compliant for safe, reliable, and high-speed data transmission in demanding network infrastructures.
