Corning 024K8F-31130-29 Black Fiber Cable Om1 Tight Buffered Indoor/Outdoor

Corning 024K8F-31130-29  Black Fiber Cable Om1 Tight Buffered Indoor/Outdoor

This indoor/outdoor fiber optic cable is a 24-fiber, tight-buffered, dielectric design engineered for versatility and durability. It features OM1 multimode (62.5 µm) fibers with riser (OFNR) flame rating, making it suitable for aerial, duct, riser, and general-purpose applications. The cable is jacketed in a flame-retardant, UV-resistant black sheath with water-swellable strength members for added protection. It provides reliable optical performance with attenuation of 3.4/1.0 dB/km at 850/1300 nm and bandwidth ratings of 200/500 MHz·km, ensuring dependable transmission for Gigabit Ethernet. With robust tensile strength, wide operating temperatures, and compliance with ICEA and NEC standards, this cable is a strong choice for demanding installations.
