Corning 048ZD9-T1301-MA – 48-F Indoor OS2 Loose Tube Plenum MIC 250 2.0 Interlocking Armor Yellow

Corning 048ZD9-T1301-MA – 48-F Indoor OS2 Loose Tube Plenum MIC 250 2.0 Interlocking Armor Yellow

This 48-Fiber Indoor OS2 Loose Tube Distribution Cable is designed with a plenum-rated flame-retardant jacket and interlocking armor for added protection in indoor installations. It features SMF-28® Ultra single-mode fibers compliant with ITU-T G.652.D and G.657.A1, offering bend-improved performance with low attenuation across 1310, 1383, and 1550 nm wavelengths. The cable includes 48 fibers organized in four 2.0 mm buffer tubes with Telcordia color coding for easy identification. With a nominal outer diameter of 15.86 mm and a short-term tensile strength of 660 N, this cable is engineered for durability and reliability. Ideal for general-purpose, horizontal, plenum, and riser applications, it provides high-performance connectivity with long-term operational stability.
