Corning 072TUF-T4180D20 —Fiber Cable, Loose Tube, LSZH, Blue, OM3 (Multimode), 72 Fiber

This product is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, offering reliable performance for aerial, direct buried, duct, riser, and general-purpose installations. Featuring a dielectric central element and flame-retardant UV-resistant black jacket, it ensures durability in harsh environments while maintaining compliance with NEC® OFCR and CSA OFC FT-4 standards. Its water-swellable tape and six color-coded buffer tubes (each containing 12 fibers) enable easy identification and high-density network builds. Engineered to operate in extreme temperatures from -40 °C to 70 °C, it provides low attenuation rates of 3.0 dB/km at 850 nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300 nm, ensuring optimal data transmission. Ideal for high-speed Ethernet applications, it supports up to 1000 m for Gigabit Ethernet and 300 m for 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
